This book is the result of the dissemination of the personal archive of the artist Alicia Penalba, which consists of a large collection of documents and a magnificent collection of photographs. These unpublished materials enrich this extensively illustrated edition, which brings together essays by European and Argentinean researchers.
Born in Argentina, her career, which began in France in the 1950s, was then at its peak. Her totem poles and winged sculptures found their way into museums and private collections in Europe and the United States, and her monumental works were integrated into public spaces in France, Switzerland and Germany, among other countries.
