Her tireless investigation of unconventional materials and forms marks her as a pioneering artist who--alongside Benglis, Bourgeois and Hesse--made fundamental contributions to contemporary sculpture. This bilingual (English\/German) monograph centers around 13 brief texts on her works by renowned scholars, addressing such key topics as casting, erotic objects, memory, fragmented bodies and plasticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verlag Fur Moderne Kunst","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47999471779991,"sku":"9783991531838","price":2514.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783991531838.webp?v=1783600745","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alina-szapocznikow-body-languages-9783991531838","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
