Ferdi and Tajiri
Four catalogues from the artists' couple. Dutch sculptor Ferdi (1927-1969) made vibrant textile works often with fake fur. Her 'horti-sculptures' from the 60s, referring to sexual organs, are currently being re-discovered. Shinkichi Tajiri (1923-2009) was a Japanese-American sculptor living in The Netherlands.
