Mire Lee is known for her visceral sculptures which use kinetic, mechanised elements to invoke the tension between soft forms and rigid systems. Her new site-specific work, the Hyundai Commission for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, is the first major presentation of Lee's work in the UK. Born in South Korea in 1988, Lee lives and works between Amsterdam and Seoul. Using industrial materials such as steel rods, cement, silicone, oil and clay, her work explores the animated nature of these materials as they pour, drip and bulge. Lee's sculptures have a raw, organic appearance with elements suggestive of living organisms which are combined with machine parts. Motors or pumps channel oozing liquids through them with an unsettling effect. Lee is interested in the power of sculpture to affect both the viewer and the immediate surroundings and is unafraid to push artistic boundaries in spectacular ways. Her atmospheric sculptures and installations engage the senses and create spaces to reflect on themes of emotion and human desire. While focusing on the subversive, multi-sensory forms of this new commission, this beautifully illustrated book also serves as an introduction to one of today's most intriguing and original contemporary artists.

Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) is best known for her monumental sculptures: towering, dark and warped structures that are often isolated, evoking a myriad of emotions from hope and fear to anguish and anxiety. But she also worked prolifically with fabric, weaving together her personal life with her art to tell powerful stories of her traumatic memories and experiences.
This book is an enlightening introduction to the life and work of Bourgeois. -

A lively introduction to the life and work of Alberto Giacometti, whose unique style and innovative vision make him one of the most significant and internationally acclaimed sculptors of the post-war era.
Alberto Giacometti (1901-66) is best known for his elongated, wraithlike sculptures. Instantly recognisable and inescapably associated with the existentialist despair of his time, these unusual figures presented a vulnerable image of humanity in which a generation traumatised by the war recognised itself, but they also continue to remain intensely meaningful to contemporary society today.
This book is a key introduction to the life and work of Giacometti. It follows the story of his artistic evolution, from his first sketchbooks and paintings inspired by his father's colourful post-impressionist style to his formative experience with death that shaped his obsession with the subject throughout his career. Exploring the artist's move towards curious surrealist compositions and the emergence of his mature style, it celebrates the enduring power of one of the most internationally acclaimed sculptors of the post-war era.
