| Publisher Description: As familiar as it is, it's easy to forget how disquieting the story of Rapunzel really is: a young girl escapes imprisonment by allowing her suitor to climb her own hair all the way up into her tower. In this volume, sculptor Elke H rtel--whose work reimagines mythical female figures in abject yet stoic poses--restores the story of Rapunzel to its exquisitely creepy origins. This evocative, pictorial book documents H rtel's fascinating process of recreating Rapunzel, tracing the genesis of her artwork from the first study to the casting to the installation. Featuring lavish illustrations, this book offers a glimpse into contemporary sculpture as well as the sinister beauty of a timeless fairy tale. |
