Abstract (en)

Study of the assemblages and environments created by Edward Kienholz since the late 1950s, and those he has created with his wife since 1972. Focuses on the development of their American work, which offers a critique of life in America, especially its darker aspects. Discusses these works in the context of post-1945 American art and American literature of the period.
