Description
Lygia Pape: A Visionary's Work This publication brings together a selection of works by Lygia Pape, a founding member of Brazil's Neo-Concrete movement. Pape's art is characterized by its emphasis on the viewer's sensorial experience, exploring the relationship between geometry, space, and materiality. The book features a range of works spanning from 1955 to 2001, including woodcut prints, drawings, and installations. Notable among these are Pape's "Ttéia" installations, which present captivating explorations of light, color, and materiality. The accompanying texts by Briony Fer and Daniel Birnbaum offer a thoughtful analysis of Pape's work, its heritage, and its legacy. The book's design pays homage to one of Pape's most notable works, "Ttéia no. 7", with its deep blue cover and translucent blue pages. Immersive installation views and detailed images complement the perceptive texts, providing a comprehensive understanding of Pape's innovative art practice.
