The art Boepple has produced since the 1970s focuses on corporeal proportions and allusions, evoking the human body metaphorically rather than via direct figuration. This, the first monograph on Willard Boepple, locates the artist's work within the context of modernist constructed sculpture. It pays particular attention to Boepple's chosen ancestors and sources and his relationship with his peers, in order to emphasize the originality of his sculpture. An in-depth, illustrated exploration of Boepple's most achieved abstract sculptures in various media and scales, from the 1980s to the present, is complemented by discussion of pivotal earlier works and a recent series of monoprints, highlighting the persistence of particular themes and motifs and the full, broad range of Boepple's artistic concerns. This insightful yet accessible book will appeal to all those interested in sculpture and contemporary manifestations of modernism, including collectors, museum professionals and visitors, students and artists.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e24 x 28 cm | 112 pages | hardcover\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Willard Boepple","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42037753675930,"sku":"10859","price":500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/5704\/1545\/products\/DSC03805.jpg?v=1654006523"},{"product_id":"peter-schuyff-works-on-paper-1984-2018-2019","title":"'Peter Schuyff: WORKS ON PAPER 1984-2018' (2019)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the writer and musician Richard Hell's introduction to \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Schuyff: Works on paper 1984–2018\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Painting is personal.

On the one hand, the Manifiesto antropófago (Cannibal Manifesto), written in 1928 by the Brazilian poet Oswald de Andrade, suggested cannibalism as a metaphor for rebellion against the myths of originality and cultural identity. And on the other hand, the game of dominoes is itself the product of the successive cannibalization of its components: it is a truly trans- cultural object. Based on Chinese dice games, and taken, like pasta, to Italy, it ended up spreading with the Iberian colonization of the new world and become the most popular table game in Latin American societies.The aim of Dominó caníbal is to bring together all this imagery by inviting a group of artists Jimmie Durham, Cristina Lucas, Bruce High Quality Foundation, Tania Bruguera and Francis Alÿs among others to act in a space established not in terms of autonomy and individual identity but rather as a venue for ongoing negotiation between languages, materials and aesthetics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ediciones Poligrafa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43682837201050,"sku":"11319","price":650.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/5704\/1545\/files\/C5A42080-F79B-4649-8FC5-EC7DF1D0A641_1_105_c.jpg?v=1748944646"},{"product_id":"re-society-40-years-of-ing-engaging-with-the-arts","title":"Re: Society: 40 Years of ING Engaging with the Arts","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArt is an essential part of ING’s corporate identity.
