Text by Jo Applin, Birgit Brunk, Georges Didi-Huberman, Heike Eipeldauer, Elena Filipovic, et al.
The rediscovery of a still underappreciated artist who, along with Auguste Rodin, revolutionized sculpture in the 19th century
Considered the rival of Auguste Rodin, Italian artist Medardo Rosso (1858–1928) is an underappreciated pioneer of modernism. This catalog presents 50 of his sculptures paired with works by artists—including Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, David Hammons and Eva Hesse—that resonate both directly and indirectly with Rosso's aesthetic ideology.
This book was published in conjunction with mumok Wien.
