Great Women Artists: Magdalena Abakanowicz

Magdalena Abakanowicz is an unquestioned reformer of global artistic textile and one of the most recognizable Polish sculptors in the world. During the lecture we will learn about the artist's life and work – from her aristocratic, Tatar roots and traumatic wartime experiences to her spectacular success in international art salons. We will examine the phenomenon of her revolutionary abakans and monumental, headless figures made of jute and bronze, which to this day provoke questions about the human condition in the modern world.
