Like Life. Sculpture, Color, and the Body (1300–Now). (original) (raw)

The exhibition and catalogue "Like Life. Sculpture, Color, and the Body" examine the historical use of color in sculptures from the Renaissance to present day, addressing the ongoing criticism and challenges artists face regarding colored sculpture. Through a thematic analysis of over one hundred diverse objects, the catalogue explores the interplay of lifelikeness, movement, and the ontological implications of skin in sculptural practice, questioning established assumptions about audience and meaning in the context of European artistic traditions.
