In each, groups of young women — stripped of individuality through identical underwear, wigs and body paint — were directed to hold still, silent poses within institutional settings, producing a sustained tension between fashion spectacle, performance art and the politics of looking. Beecroft has since become widely associated with the large-scale presentations she staged for Kanye West's Yeezy label, though her core practice is rooted in the work collected here. Hickey's introductory essay situates Beecroft's tableaux within a broader history of the painted female figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: fair (staining\/residue to inner covers and edge discolouration throughout)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanessa Beecroft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52277373501759,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/4773\/2031\/files\/Vanessa_Beecroft_-_VB.jpg?v=1772097611","url":"https:\/\/informlibrary.com\/products\/vb-08-36-vanessa-beecroft-performances","provider":"In Form Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
