Pouting mouths, marble belly folds and skin-like shells distinguish Szapocznikow's influential exploration of erotic objects, memory and plasticity in the realm of sculptureThe central focus of Alina Szapocznikow's (1926–73) works is the human body, through which she uncompromisingly thematizes the fragility of existence and the paradoxes of life. 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.
