Anticipating architectural sculpture by artists like Rachel Whiteread among others, Swiss artist Heidi Bucher's 'soft' sculptures and Latex molds of architectural fragments and whole spaces first won her fame in the 1970s and 80s. Bucher, the mother of artist Mayo Bucher, died in 1993. This is the first retrospective monograph on her work, and long overdue.
