Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. This book explores the significance of masks throughout human history. From prehistoric times, people have felt the need to temporarily conceal or completely transform their identities. The cultural and historical meanings of masking have varied across different periods and regions, yet it remains relevant today as we constantly reshape our identities, especially on digital platforms. The COVID-19 pandemic also reminded us that masks have long been used for protection. The book traces the theme of masks from antiquity and 20th-century avant-garde art to contemporary works, and is edited by Italian art historian Lorella Scacco. Related to the exhibition of the same name at Serlachius Manor, Mänttä, Finland, 11 May - 15 September 2024. Text in Finnish and English. 117 pp.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. Harry Kivijärvi (1931-2010) was one of Finland's best-known - and most international - sculptors. The artist, whose primary material was black stone, has been described as carrying on the age-old dialogue between humankind and stone. While aware of the long tradition behind him, Kivijärvi succeeded in finding his own distinctive expression that placed him in the ranks of the modernists. He was active on the Finnish art scene and was concerned to preserve the craft of stone working. Time of Stone situates Kivijärvi's art in the long lineage of stone sculpture by juxtaposing his works with those of six contemporary sculptors: Maria Duncker, Timo Hannunen, Aaron Heino, Anne Koskinen, Laura Könönen and Ville Mäkikoskela. Each of them sets their own characteristic use of stone alongside Harry Kivijärvi's art. Related to the exhibition The Time of Stone at Serlachius Museums, Finland 13 October 2018 - 14 April 2019.
