Rikkinen, Bonbon Baroque - Contemporary Curiosities

Bonbon Baroque: Contemporary curiosities is the first book-form presentation of Anna Rikkinen's art. With her debut book Anna Rikkinen will take you to a journey, to a table decorated with peculiar things, trough seasons and rooms. Through her art, Anna Rikkinen reflects on the concept of beauty, body, memories and time. Her work is tinged with nostalgia and melancholy, tempered by gentle humour. “It is an often overlooked certainty that all art has been contemporary. ” - Hélène Bremer, art historian This book presents a selection of Anna Rikkinen's art works from 2004—2021 with notes from the artist, including essays written by art historian Hélène Bremer and ethnologist Mirja Tervo.
