Alina Szapocznikow
Depuis la redécouverte récente de l'oeuvre d'Alina Szapocznikow (1926-1973), l'attention s'est essentiellement portée sur les sculptures de cette remarquable artiste née en Pologne et installée en France à partir de 1963. Pourtant la qualité et l'importance de ses dessins méritent amplement que l'on s'y attarde. C'est ce que propose cet ouvrage qui accompagne l'exposition "Alina Szapocznikow, Du dessin à la sculpture", au Centre Pompidou. Mettant l'accent sur les dix dernières années de la carrière de cette artiste disparue prématurément, il dévoile près de cent dessins, pour une très large part inédits. Ils sont accompagnés de textes de Jonas Storsve, commissaire de l'exposition, et d'Anne Tronche, spécialiste reconnue de l'art de la fin du XXe siècle en France, ainsi que d'une minutieuse chronologie établie par l'historienne de l'art polonaise Jola Gola.
Sculpture Undone, 1955-1972
"A sculptor who began working during the postwar period in a classical figurative style, Alina Szapocznikow radically reconceptualized sculpture as an imprint not only of memory but also of her own body. Though her career effectively spanned less than two decades (cut short by the artist's premature death in 1973 at age 47), Szapocznikow left behind a legacy of provocative objects that evoke Surrealism, Nouveau Râealisme, and Pop art. Her tinted polyester casts of body parts, often transformed into everyday objects like lamps or ashtrays; her poured polyurethane forms; and her elaborately constructed sculptures, which at times incorporated photographs, clothing, or car parts, all remain as ...
To Exalt the Ephemeral: Alina Szapocznikow, 1962-1972
Sensuality and abjection in the sculpture of an artist who expressed the female experience unapologetically and presciently This catalog considers the pivotal turning points in the Polish artist Alina Szapocznikow's (1926-73) life and career from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. It considers her experimental approach to materials, ranging from plaster and bronze to her groundbreaking use of polyester resin in the mid-1960s. Szapocznikow's work maps her engagement with her own body as it transformed from healthy to ailing. Her art amounts to a powerful meditation on what she once described as "a fleeting instant, a trivial instant ... our terrestrial passage." These sensual casts and sculptures of body parts are ecstatic and abject, playful and disturbing, direct and elusive. Unapologetic in their expression of the female experience, including that of terminal illness, Szapocznikow's works remain hauntingly relevant today. Featuring new photography, the publication aims to render the tactility and spatiality of these works in brilliant new detail.
