{"product_id":"ugo-rondinone-erik-verhagen-9783969120200","title":"Ugo Rondinone: Nuns + Monks","description":"Contemplation and Communion with the World. Ugo Rondinone (b. Brunnen, Switzerland, 1964; lives and works in New York) is a conceptual and installation artist whose oeuvre spans abstract painting, photography, and sculpture. Nature is where he has long found inspiration, regeneration, and comfort: \"In nature, you enter a space where the sacred and the profane, the mystical and the secular vibrate against one another.\" Rondinone's works oscillate between the extremes of interiority and engagement with the wider world; stone is often present in his art as a recurrent material and symbol. The sculptures in the series nuns + monks originated as limestone models; the artist made three-dimensional scans and then cast the works in bronze. As a reflection of the inner self in the outside world, the friable mineral contrasts with the solidity of the bronze; the natural genesis of the millennia-old stones with the presence of the polychrome casts in the here and now. nuns + monks attest to a visibility while also giving the impression of flinching from the gazes to which they expose themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Verhagen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3969120209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783969120200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e DCV\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.30h x 9.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Erik Verhagen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48874282909951,"sku":"9783969120200","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ugo-rondinone-erik-verhagen-9783969120200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
