VB 08-36: VANESSA BEECROFT PERFORMANCES

VB 08-36: Vanessa Beecroft Performances highlights her performances which have been described as art, fashion, brilliant, terrible, evocative, provocative, disturbing, sexist and empowering. The primary material in her work is the live female figure, which remains ephemeral and separate. These women, mainly unclothed, similar, unified through details like hair color, or identical shoes, stand motionless, unapproachable and regimented in the space while viewers watch them. Neither performance nor documentary, Beecroft's "live" events are recorded through photography and film, but her conceptual approach is actually closer to painting: she makes contemporary versions of the complex figurative compositions that have challenged painters from the Renaissance onwards. Adult Material. Condition: Fine Plus. Bumped corners. Light cover wear.
