Germaine Richier

55 years after her death, the extensive work of Germaine Richier (1902-1959) is re-assessed in a major retrospective. Although the early deceased sculptor - revered by Alberto Giacometti - created key works of their time and occupied an important position in the art, her work was long known only to a small circle of experts. Richier's Kafkaesque bronze figures with wrinkly surfaces were considered as completion of expressive realism, but not as a driving force for future generations. The present volume positioned its work now including in the context of the period discussed references to art history of the 20th century and makes a radical revaluation of their oeuvre. Previously unpublished and long not shown works present the artist as a central protagonist of modernity.
