Horn had first shown at De Pont when the museum opened in 1992, when \u003cem\u003ePair Field\u003c\/em\u003e was installed there — eighteen pairs of solid copper and stainless-steel sculptures, each pair identical but physically separated across the space. De Pont subsequently became an important institutional home for Horn's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe publication is particularly strong as an object. A photograph of the Icelandic landscape wraps from front to back cover; inside, sculpture, landscape, architecture and water appear repeatedly in pairs and sequences. One spread reduces the forms of \u003cem\u003ePair Field\u003c\/em\u003e to an almost typological grid of copper and steel objects; elsewhere a photograph of a swimming pool and an Icelandic ice formation are placed opposite one another. The book doesn't simply reproduce Horn's work — it adopts her interest in doubling, proximity and difference as its own editorial structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the early 1990s Iceland had already become central to Horn's practice. Rather than treating landscape as subject matter, she used it as a changing measure of identity, perception and place — ideas that move between her sculpture, photography, drawing and artist books, and that \u003cem\u003eTo Place\u003c\/em\u003e would continue to develop across subsequent volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Pont Foundation for Contemporary Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54750898717010,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Horn_Roni.DePont.1994.jpg?v=1789576998"}],"url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/collections\/nancy-spector.oembed","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
