Edith Karlson: Hora Lupi: The Estonian Pavilion, 60th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale Di Venezia - Hardcover

by Edith Karlson (Artist), Maria Arusoo (Editor), Keiu Krikmann (Editor)

Echoing ancient and medieval statues, Karlson's clay creatures occupy the perpetual tragedy of birth, death and the perils of humanity

For the Estonian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale, Edith Karlson (born 1983) created hundreds of clay figures, including mourners, masks and human-animal hybrids, inspired by the 14th-century terracotta sculptures of plague victims at St. John's Church in Tartu, Estonia.
