Berlinde de Bruyckere
This book focuses on recent sculptures and installations by Belgian artist Berlinde de Bruyckere and provides a rare and intimate glimpse into her studio and working process. De Bruyckere uses a range of sculptural media, including wax, wood, wool, horse skin, and hair which are combined to create compelling forms that suggest distorted human and animal bodies. Her figures are often faceless, malformed and fragmentary. They perch precariously on high stools or are suspended from the walls, ceiling or tall iron columns. At first their shape seems familiar although they resist interpretation, offering a disturbing vision of fragility and suffering and they appear vulnerable and violated, their...
Berlinde de Bruyckere
Première monographie d'un personnage-clé de la scène artistique contemporaine, cet ouvrage de référence, abondamment illustré, propose une exploration exhaustive de l'univers de Berlinde De Bruyckere, depuis ses premières sculptures du début des années 1990 - méditations en plastique sur la figure humaine et sa chair vulnérable mais métamorphique – jusqu'à sa récente et envoûtante installation pour le Pavillon belge à la Biennale de Venise (2013).
We are All Flesh
Berlinde De Bruyckere's work prompts the viewer to respond. That is why it has a particular appeal for writers of literature: they are fascinated by the compositions of distorted parts of humans and horses that refer to horror and comfort, to a cruel death and the sublime. De Bruyckere empties the bodies. Through holes, the public notices the darkness of a world inside that both appeals and repels. There is space around her work that resonates and in which writers can indulge in creativity -not by writing about objects, but by juxtaposing the work with creative texts. The author does not remove meanings of the work by trying to explain it, but rather adds to its meaning by responding to art with art. Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee rises to this challenge: together with De Bruyckere he has chosen fragments from his impassioned and unsettling novels that are full of great beauty. Thus, the two present a composition of texts and images that from inside illuminates the dark world of their work.

Berlinde de Bruyckere?
A selection of drawings by two Belgian artists. Berlinde De Bruyckere’s selection of seventy items from Philippe Vandenberg’s extensive legacy of drawings, combined with a selection of her own drawings.
Into One-another
A phenomenon in contemporary art, Flemish artist Berlinde De Bruyckere creates dynamic, often unsettling works that straddle the line between real and metaphorical bodies. In dialogue here with earlier works by Cranach the Elder and controversial poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, De Bruyckere's sculptures in wool, wood, wax, and hair reveal a sense of loneliness and physical vulnerability and explore issues surrounding the corporeality of man--issues more relevant than ever in an age when science is increasingly capable of mimicking nature. Created in partnership with the Stiftung Moritzburg in Halle--and accompanying exhibitions at the Bern Kunstmuseum and Vienna Kunsthalle--this catalogue includes illustrations of artworks by De Bruyckere, Cranach and Pasolini, as well as an essay by the philosopher Gernot Böhme setting the works of art in the context of German philosophy and current ethical issues.
Berlinde de Bruyckere
This new artist's book by Berlinde De Bruyckere presents for the first time her recent sculptures and drawings concerned with the human figure and the deer Berlinde de Bruyckere is a sculptor from Ghent in Belgium, whose wild and sensual figures are formed using a melange of natural materials such as animal pelts, hair, wood and wax. In her recent works Berlinde De Bruyckere worked with a professional dancer, Romeu, as model, defining his movements and poses and developing her own sculptural choreography. The figures are faceless, malformed and fragmentary. At first their shape seems familiar although their forms resist interpretation, offering a disturbing vision of fragility and suffering....
In the flesh
"The body as evidence of our existence--as a witness to ourselves--is a shell to all that moves us. Flemish artist Berlinde De Bruyckere ([born in] 1964 in Ghent, lives and works in Ghent) investigates how we deal with the figure, image of the self and the finality of the body. She examines questions of existence and finds an enduring sculptrural language of empathy"--English description on blurb, p. [4] of cover.
