| Summary: | "This monograph is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish-Belgian artist Tapta (Maria Wierusz-Kowalska, 1926-1997), featuring essays by renowned researchers and curators. Tapta's innovative exploration of fluid spaces and dynamic interactions transcends traditional artistic boundaries and represents an important contribution to twentieth century sculpture. Her oeuvre is essentially divided into two major sections: the textile works of the 1960s to the early 1980s and the subsequent neoprene works of the 1980s and 1990s. Tapta's practice moved away from traditional weaving through experimental techniques and evolved into three-dimensional pieces - first made of cord, then of neoprene sheets -that interacted with the space and the viewer." --Page 4 of cover. |
