Cristina Iglesias

Simultaneously drawing on both Arte Povera and the Baroque, Spanish artist Cristina Iglesias (born 1956) belongs to a generation of sculptors who have pushed sculpture beyond the model of the discrete object, merging it with its architectural environment. Iglesias' works mimic parts of buildings--roofs, walls, corners--and deploy bas-relief, tapestry and large-format silkscreen on silk and copper. This volume surveys her work to date.
