Imogen Racz Libros

Exploring the dual nature of homes as both comforting and threatening, this book delves into their representation in post-war western art and contemporary practices. Imogen Racz offers a theme-led analysis of how the physical and psychological aspects of domestic spaces influence artistic expression, focusing on sculpture, installation, and object-based works. The discussion includes notable artists like Louise Bourgeois and Gordon Matta-Clark, situating their contributions within broader cultural contexts. This critical examination fills a gap in the literature on art and the home.
