Peath Coyne. Vermilion Fog. Catalogo della mostra (New York, 24 ottobre-6 dicembre 2008). Ediz. illustrata - Tapa dura

This title offers a visually stunning look at the latest works by acclaimed female sculptor Petah Coyne. Petah Coyne burst on to the art scene in the 1980s with a flamboyant style that refused to bow to the minimal principles that dominated sculpture at the time. Instead, her work showed a new interest in nature and a penchant for painstaking craftsmanship. A sculpture by Coyne might include a range of unconventional materials - including chicken wire, wax, sand, silk flowers, candles, taxidermy animals, black velvet, feathers and ribbons. However, in the artist's hands, these disparate items are transformed into voluminous, complex organic forms rich with narrative metaphor and a clear love of domestic materials. From her early hanging black sand sculptures to her latest works in wax and silk, Coyne's otherworldly structures are simultaneously fragile and imposing, delicate yet exquisitely untamable.
