Theodore McCombs: Impolite Influences: Theodore McCombs’s Bookshelf for ‘Uranians’ (0 comment)
Reality, even at its worst, is too polite to say everything that needs saying. The permission of speculative fiction is to reach above the merely plausible for those high shelves of meaning. That’s also the promise of queer fiction....

Synopsis

A forthcoming catalogue raisonne on a luminary of 20th art.

Synopsis

Embracing factory methods of construction, building on the legacy of cubism, and turning his back on European carving and casting traditions, David Smith (1906-65) transformed postwar sculpture. His body of work, contemporary with the New York School in painting, and his pioneering placement of sculptures in a natural setting are foundational for present-day sculpture and installation art. This three-volume boxed set comprehensively details the entirety of Smith's sculptural oeuvre. It is now the definitive catalogue raisonn and supplants the one constructed by Rosalind Kraus in 1977. Edited by Christopher Lyon, based on Research Editor Susan J. Cooke's efforts, the volumes also contain a Foreword by Rebecca and Candida Smith, essays by Michael Brenson, Sarah Hamill, Marc-Christian Roussel, Chrisotpher Lyon, and a chronology by Tracee Ng. Throughout the volumes, reproductions of documents and images, including many photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches by the artist, offer fresh insights into Smith's methods and creative thought. Handsomely designed and generously illustrated with fine color reproductions, this catalogue raisonn is both a sumptuous object and an essential scholarly resource.

Synopsis

A monumental new work of scholarship on a luminary of twentieth-century art

"I'm not sure I have ever seen a catalogue raisonn as beautiful, as magnificent, as the new publication on the oeuvre of the great American sculptor David Smith."--Michael Fried, Bookforum

Embracing factory methods of construction, building on the legacy of cubism, and turning his back on European carving and casting traditions, David Smith (1906-1965) transformed postwar sculpture.

This three-volume boxed set comprehensively details the entirety of Smith's sculptural oeuvre. It is now the definitive catalogue raisonn and supplants the one constructed by Rosalind E.
