In the 1990s, he pivoted to sculpture, focusing on statuary and working with both direct carving and modeling, which he then translated to bronze or stone. This is the first publication to explore the entirety of Folon's sculptural work. Drawing inspiration from the Cyclades, the Etruscans, from African masks and Indian totems, Folon's sculptures are characterized by their frontality and corporality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for Mercatorfonds \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eVillers-la-Ville, Brussels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (October 24, 2020-February 21, 2021) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Michel Folon, Renzo Piano, St駱hanie Angelroth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300257716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300257717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercatorfonds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2021","brand":"Jean Michel Folon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989118877951,"sku":"9780300257717","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a560b281-4e7b-4c50-ac17-9c77328e42b1.jpg?v=1683297743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/folon-jean-michel-folon-9780300257717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
