Rotterdam-based artist Joep van Lieshout creates engaging but enigmatic containers-streamlined, curvilinear molds decorated with occasional dashes of paradoxical materials like fur and liqueur bottles-which mimic sterile architectural spaces like mobile homes, office units, deprivation chambers, washbasins, toilet bowls, and shelving units. This jewel-like book accompanied a 1996 traveling exhibition of Van Lieshout's work.
