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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verlag Fur Moderne Kunst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783991531838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Alina Szapocznikow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52733425254581,"sku":"9783991531838","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/alina-szapocznikow-body-languages-9783991531838","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
