The International Sculpture Center has inaugurated a new series of books on contemporary sculpture. The first volume, A Sculpture Reader, is now available. This unique anthology of articles on sculptors is drawn from the 25-year run of Sculpture magazine and offers a valuable overview of three-dimensional art since 1980. With 42 essays on a wide selection of international artists including Michelangelo Pistoletto, Giuseppe Penone, Jesús Soto, Teresita Fernández, Tony Oursler, Judith Shea, Tom Otterness, Alice Aycock, Willie Cole, and Magdalena Jetelová, A Sculpture Reader is an indispensable reference tool for educators, students, and all those interested in contemporary sculpture.
Praise for A Sculpture Reader: A Sculpture Reader provides a fascinating overview of the development of sculpture since 1980, revealing key issues and artistic concerns that have carried through from the late 1960s to the present. Beginning with major figures associated with Arte Povera, including Michelangelo Pistoletto and Giuseppe Penone, as well as Bruce Nauman, Richard Long, and Robert Irwin, this rich anthology of essays by a diverse set of authors presents a progressive view of critical thinking and the multivalent approaches to contemporary sculpture reflected in the works of Ann Hamilton, Olafur Eliasson, Jorge Pardo, Atelier von Lieshout, Karin Sander, and many other artists from around the world.” Olga Viso, Director, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
A Sculpture Reader is likely to be the definitive survey of contemporary sculpture. Virtually every sculptor of consequence is discussed in depth. The essays are clear and to the point. Highly recommended. Donald Kuspit, Professor of Art History and Philosophy, SUNY at Stony Brook
Forthcoming in the Perspectives series:
The second volume in the Perspectives on Contemporary Sculpture series will be published in 2007. Conversations on Sculpture, with an introduction by Robert Hobbs, features interviews complementing the articles in A Sculpture Reader. The interviewees include Maya Lin, Richard Serra, Rachel Whiteread, Maurizio Cattelan, Tara Donovan, Yinka Shonibare, and 40 other mid-career and emerging artists from all over the world.
