Description: This catalog, published to accompany an exhibition at Hauser Wirth & Schimmel, examines the undeniable presence and emotional impact of sculpture made from a woman's point of view. Focused solely on abstract sculpture, this exhibition brings together a group of revolutionary sculptural works. It allows us to look at the history of postwar abstraction from a new perspective, illuminating the fundamental changes that these generations of artists brought to bear on sculpture within the histories of modernism and beyond.
