Description
Magdalena Abakanowicz: A Pioneer in Environmental Sculpture This book explores the remarkable work of Polish sculptor and fiber artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, known for her innovative use of textiles as a sculptural medium. From the 1960s to the 1970s, Abakanowicz created large-scale installations that expanded the field of sculpture and installation art, captivating audiences with their immersive atmosphere. Through lavishly illustrated photography and detailed analysis, this book reveals the unique nature of Abakanowicz's monumental works, known as "Abakans," which often featured entanglements of ropes or dividing spaces. The book also examines the artist's broader interests in natural phenomena, folk-art traditions, and themes such as shamanism and female energy. With contributions from art curators Anne Coxon and Mary Jane Jacob, this publication provides a nuanced understanding of Abakanowicz's pioneering contribution to installation art and her role as a woman artist in postwar Europe.
