SOLANGE PESSOA

The first English-language monograph on seminal Brazilian artist Solange Pessoa (born 1961), this substantial volume is also the artist's most comprehensive to date. Pessoa's sculptural work, which often mobilizes materials like human hair, leather, wax and animal blood, evokes issues related to human and animal bodies, vacillates between beauty and abjection and forges formal connections between indigenous Brazilian traditions and international postminimal art.
