However, within this space of familiar sculptural traditions, Bove has discovered new approaches that lead to places previously unknown. Bove's \"collage sculptures\" are created from scrap metal and stainless steel that has been carefully worked into sinuous forms and are frequently painted. Considering the hard rigidity of the steel, the works possess an appearance of almost impossible softness, as if steel could become as pliable as clay. Such works range from small pedestal sculptures to large, imposing compositions. Bove's interest in scale and how a viewer's understanding of an artwork shifts depending on its context are explored through a selection of small works from the collection of the Nasher Sculpture Center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by the Nasher Sculpture Center, the catalogue features beautiful reproductions of Bove's work and an introduction as well as an essay by curator Catherine Craft on the development of the collage sculptures and their relationship to other artists and traditions of modern sculpture. Also included is an essay by Lisa Le Feuvre that explores Bove's complex work by means of a thematic alphabet related to the artist's interests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595933499628,"sku":"9781644230671","price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781644230671-carol-bove-collage-sculptures.jpg?v=1777911153"},{"product_id":"new-skin-by-ziad-antar-9788857229843","title":"New Skin","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTony Salamé is the CEO of Aishti, a fashion and luxury group operating various stores in Beirut.
