Kaspar worked with material from Peggy Guggenheim’s autobiography \u003cem\u003eConfessions of an Art Addict\u003c\/em\u003e and photographs taken at Guggenheim’s palazzo in Venice in 2011. The body of work referred to the self-portrayal of a collector and the entanglement with personal relations in the process of building a collection: love and money. In turn the publication consists of fragmented texts and images used in the exhibition. Focusing on Marie Antoinette’s so-called “breast bowl,” a second essay by Elisabeth Lebovici opens the narration of the publication.” \u003cbr\u003e—Hannes Loichinger\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koenig Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57356582027604,"sku":"A8B-22960","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/KASPAR_Tobias_Bodies_in_the_Backdrop_0.jpg?v=1790810811","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/bodies-in-the-backdrop","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
