This week's favorite book: Germaine Richier
Germaine Richier (1902–59) occupies a central position in the history of modern sculpture.
She held a unique position in the 1940s and 50s as a successful female career artist, exhibiting internationally and developing a style that has been largely overshadowed by the predominant male canon.
This major reassessment of Richier’s complete oeuvre establishes her key position within the artistic context of her time and, more broadly, her influential impact on 20th-century sculpture.
