Eja Siepman van den Berg

The Dutch sculptor Eja Siepman van den Berg (*1943) developed her distinctive visual program in the early 1970s. Her representations of the human body in bronze and stone bear witness to her interest in a harmonious figuration and the principles of abstraction. Siepman van den Berg strives for a clarity of form that omits the merely decorative and superfluous. This also explains her broad interest in early Greek kouroi and in twentieth-century sculptors such as Constantin Brancu?i and Donald Judd. This richly illustrated publication with the allure of a catalogue raisonne opens up the extensive body of work of one of the Netherlands’ major sculptors. 200 colour illustrations
