Magdalena Abakanowicz: Working Process E Non Solo
Editorial Reviews Book Description The sculptures of Magdalena Abakanowicz, one of the preeminent sculptors of the past half-century, offer a moving, tactile testament to both individuality and common humanity. This monograph provides an exhaustive overview of Abakanowicz's permanent installations (among other works), such as Katarsis at the Fattoria di Celle sculpture garden in Santomato di Pistoia, Italy. There, as in other of her bronzes, limbless, headless torsos stand in soldierly ranks, their surfaces rough with textures that differentiate each from the other. Mournful and mute, the artist's monumental groups are fitting, solemn representations of contemporary human alienation and political manipulation. Drawings and essays, along with artist statements and an interview, complete this necessary contextualization of an important contemporary artist. Essays by Abraham M. Hammacher, Giuliano Gori, Barbara Rose and Jasia Reichardt. Hardcover, 9.5 x 12.75 in./192 pgs / 60 color, 34 b&w and 30 duotones.
