About this Exhibition catalog:
Beautifully illustrated gallery exhibition catalog for the Dutch sculptor's works. According to the intro,
Acclaimed Dutch sculptor Hanneke Beaumont's figures resonate with deep emotional tension and a poignant awareness of the self. The pensive, introverted gazes of the gender-neutral figures invite the viewer to explore their own personal depths of human emotion.While Beaumont's sculptures are cast in bronze and iron, she embraces the formative medium of terra cotta, allowing the clay to speak for itself. The compelling power of the sculpture celebrates the rough, unrefined feeling of the terra cotta, while still the capturing the subtle facial expressions and thoughtful postures held in a fleeting moment of solitude.
Powerful, yet understated, rough, yet refined, these sculptures truly reflect on the enigma of the human condition.
According to the wiki,
Hanneke Beaumont (born 1947 Maastricht, the Netherlands) is a Dutch sculptor known for her large scale figurative works in terracotta, bronze and cast iron.Beaumont began working in clay and gradually moved into finalizing the work in bronze and cast iron. In 1994, she was honored with a major award from the Centre International d'Art Contemporain, Château Beychevelle, St. Julien, France for her terracotta sculpture group Le Courage. Shortly after, she participated in the second Exposiciòn Internacional de Esculturas en la Calle, organized by the Colegio de Arquitectos de Canarias, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, where her work was permanently installed.
Since 2005, various museums have held retrospectives of Beaumont’s art, among which the Beelden aan Zee museum in the Hague, the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Vero Beach Museum of Art and the Baker Museum in Florida, and the Copelouzos Family Art Museum in Athens, Greece.
In Brussels, she is widely recognized for her monumental installations, namely Stepping Forward (2008) installed in front of the European Union Council, Le Courage at the entrance of the Erasmus hospital, the public work Le Départ (1996) at Brussels Airport, and Interaction & Self-Protection in Ganshoren. Present in numerous public and private collections, Hanneke Beaumont has an international reputation and her art is exhibited worldwide. Many other public and private collectors have manifested great interest in her work. She now enjoys an international reputation with exhibitions in the US, UK, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, and Switzerland.
Beaumont has said that she identifies as a "clay person”, and many of her finished works retain the marks made in that material, with surfaces left somewhat rough and unrefined. She began working from live models early in her career but later abandoned this. Her forms have been described as androgynous. Beaumont’s sculptures represent ‘Man’ in the broader sense, she addresses grand issues of the human condition. Many of Beaumont’s figures appear neither male nor female, neither young nor old. They do not appear as portraits of particular individuals, nor are they modeled after idealized human forms. Physically, they are approximations of human beings, and as such, they provide a way to consider, from a distance, general ideas about the nature of the human race.

THE PHOTOS SEEN IN OUR LISTINGS ARE ALWAYS OF THE ACTUAL BOOKS BEING OFFERED - WE DO NOT USE STOCK PHOTOS.
Additional purchases may be combined if bought same day, for one low shipping rate, if possible. Add to your cart and request total from seller for combined shipping. Sales Tax may apply, that's between you and ebay now. Please read and accept my terms of sale below before you bid.
You will find that the originals of the photos below are often larger than what ebay provides above.
1) COMBINED SHIPPING/POSTAGE:
a. I happily combine shipping (where possible, sometimes it isn't), but orders over $10 total will likely require tracking now because of unacceptable Postal Service delays resulting in INR claims. Tracking/delivery confirmation seems to speed up shipments. So there might not be a discount on several inexpensive items combined, and you accept this. All international orders will require tracking, as provided by eBay.
b. If you haven't paid yet for multiple purchases, please wait for a combined invoice, which may take up to 24 hours to send you. Don't worry, it's not a race to see how fast you can pay.
c. If you must pay immediately, make sure all the items are on the same payment transaction (same order). I will then be able to combine shipping (if possible) and send you a partial refund for overpayment of postage. Some people make numerous multiple purchases with separate payments and look for a shipping discount. That will not happen, so please add your items to your cart, and when you are done looking at my stuff, buy it all at once. Thanks!
2) POSTAGE: All USPS postage rates are calculated using the most affordable (not the quickest) shipping class, based on a pre-sale estimated weight and size of the package. Sometimes multiple options are offered. If you want to upgrade to a quicker, more expensive postal class not shown, you must let me know BEFORE you pay. All requests for special handling, extra packaging, etc. must be made prior to payment so that invoice can be adjusted.
3) INSURANCE: In the event of loss or damage on insured packages, buyer agrees to fulfill all requirements of the insurer in the processing of a claim, or forfeits their right to request a refund.
4) SALES TAX: Ebay has taken over all responsibility for sales tax collection for all states that require it. I have no control whatsoever over who pays sales tax, it is out of my hands. The same is true for all international taxes, duties and VAT. Please direct all questions/complaints to the good folks at Ebay.
5) INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We no longer ship any merchandise (as in postcards) via letter rate internationally. It is prohibited by the UPU (subject to seizure or return), and is also not trackable. International shipping is offered as a courtesy to those who can afford it, and is handled entirely through eBay. All Import duties, taxes, and charges are handled by eBay as well. I no longer ship directly, because of the excessive amount of “item not received” claims, resulting in my loss.
Most of my international postcard buyers, who prefer to pay the lower letter rate postage, have a friend/relative in the USA to whom I can ship several postcards in a letter (for about $1.00-1.50 at time of this listing), and will specify this prior to payment. If you do this, then that friend will forward the postcards in a letter rate envelope to you the buyer, and the shipping risk will be yours, not mine. Multiple purchases can also be combined when you ship to a USA recipient. This is the way of the future on ebay, as more and more sellers move away from the risks of untracked international letter rate mail.
6) REPRODUCTION OF IMAGES: Seller is not selling the exclusive rights to reproduce images of the item offered. Buyer is of course free to reproduce as they wish, but seller retains and may exercise the right to reproduce any images of the item for any purpose before or after the sale, without permission from or compensation to the buyer.
7) LISTING DISCREPANCIES: If the Title, Description, and/or Photo on a listing do not match, for gosh sakes don't buy it. Mistakes happen. Let me know instead so I can fix the listing. If you do buy, the item described in the Title of the listing takes precedence over anything else. If you don't agree with that, I will consider that your request to cancel the transaction of the faulty listing.
