Medardo Rosso: Inventing Modern Sculpture

The rediscovery of a still underappreciated artist who, along with Auguste Rodin, revolutionized sculpture in the 19th century

Published with mumok Wien.

Considered the rival of Auguste Rodin, Italian artist Medardo Rosso (1858-1928) is an underappreciated pioneer of modernism. This catalog presents 50 of his sculptures paired with works by artists--including Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, David Hammons and Eva Hesse--that resonate both directly and indirectly with Rosso's aesthetic ideology.
