14 essays inspired by the sculptures of Erkin Mergenov

Viac o knihe

Fourteen sculptures of the distinguished Central Asian artist Erkin Mergenov constitute the subject matter of this book. The creative force of the sculptor produced the artifacts, which then inspired historians, theologians, philosophers and literary scholars to produce ‘verbal’ responses and meditations on original themes. The texts, which exemplify different cross-disciplinary approaches to art and sculpture, cover the 30-year span of the artist’s career – from Self-Portrait (1971) to Premonition (2001).
