OverviewThe work originally conceived by the artist couple Hubbard / Birchler for the Swiss Pavilion at the 2017 Venice Biennale re-constructs the life story of the American artist Flora Mayo. Mayo had a romantic relationship in the 1920s with the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti. While he is now one of the most famous artists of the twentieth century, her work was de-stroyed, and her life forgotten. Hubbard / Birchler reanimate Mayo's compelling biography from a feminist perspective, combining reconstruction and documentation to create a multilayered form of narrative. The catalogue, produced for the current exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz, elucidates the research the artists engaged in and documents the installa-tion in an impressive manner Full Product DetailsAuthor: Cornelia Gockel , Gregory Volk , Ingvild Goetz , Susanne TouwPublisher: Hatje Cantz Imprint: Hatje Cantz Weight: 0.540kg ISBN: 9783775745642ISBN 10: 3775745645 Pages: 144 Publication Date: 02 May 2019 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
