Title: Doris Salcedo
Description: Berlin, Hatje Cantz / Fondation Beyeler, 2023. Hardcover. Quarto. Hardcover. Matte illustrated boards. 245 pages : color illustrations ; 29 cm. "Experiences of violence and loss take shape in the work of internationally acclaimed Colombian artist Doris Salcedo. Although her sculptures and installations are often based on concrete events, feelings of grief, alienation and loss of home take on a universally valid, heartfelt expression in her works. Different materials such as stone and concrete, wooden furniture, grass, petals, hair or pieces of clothing are transformed and charged with meaning. Rarely do individual pain and collective grief find such a touching form or has their social overcoming been formulated so forcefully. Created in close collaboration with the artist, the catalogue offers a comprehensive survey over Salcedo's work from 1986 to 2022."-- On the occasion of an exhibition held at the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, May 21 - September 17, 2023./ Includes bibliographical references. As new.
