In the Studio: Berlinde De Bruyckere

Published by Hauser & Wirth Publishers.
Text by Jenni Sorkin.

This generously illustrated and accessible guide details the development of the Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere's (born 1964) work across sculpture, drawing and installation. Featuring an incisive introduction, the volume pays particular attention to the artist's vast and varied sources of inspiration and the profound symbolism in her work. Drawing on a vast array of influences—from Christian iconography, the paintings of Lucas Cranach and Ovid's Metamorphoses to more contemporary references such as the cinema of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Nan Goldin's photography—De Bruyckere transforms existing imagery into striking new compositions that bring established archetypes into the contemporary moment. With a wealth of photographs capturing De Bruyckere's almost alchemical metamorphosis of her unorthodox materials into articulations of desire and fragility, sensuality and suffering, violence and care, In the Studio: Berlinde De Bruyckere is a comprehensive introduction to the artist's work.

Berlinde De Bruyckere & Martin Honert: Under Cover

Published by Walther König, Köln.
Text by Ulrike Groos, Georg Imdahl, Beate Söntgen.

The encounter of artists Berlinde De Bruyckere and Martin Honert in the exhibition provides the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf with a great opportunity of presenting two exceptional positions in the field of contemporary sculpture. The title itself alludes to both a special approach towards the subject matter and the actual context of the works themselves; both sculptors derive their creative impetus from the realm of things concealed, from memory and remembrance, from the substrate and sediments of dreams, as well as from images and photographs.
