In her \"ambivalently abstract\" works, the artist takes unconventional approaches to materials associated with sculptural traditions of casting, including aluminum, lead, steel and wax. In conversation with sculptures from the Nasher's permanent collection by Louise Bourgeois, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and others, Baghramian's works offer new ways to think about representations of bodies and the unseen labor of models, as well as the linguistic play afforded by different meanings of the word \"model\" and its linguistic relatives, such as \"modulate\" and \"modify.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 12 x 9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 30, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765395521824,"sku":"9781636811239","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4e7373ef60d2506a14f172a5746530b4.webp?v=1780268325","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/nairy-baghramian-mod%e9%91%9ee-vivant-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
