About this Item
Square 4to hardcover, pp,566 + illustrations.Special Binding [see image] This copy still in publishers shrink wrap so A Fine Copy. As New. Text in English. 24.77 x 26.04 x 5.08,3 Kilos Limitrd to 1000 numbered copies. ISBN 978099236850 This book is a fitting tribute to a sculptor whose distinctive abstract forms became familiar to Australian art-lovers in the 1980 s and 1990 s and continue to invest many public spaces with their special qualities. Makigawa 's abstract forms are shaped and composed with understated oriental finesse while the artist s hand is ever present in the surfaces of the stone. In his foreword, Edmund Capon describes his first meeting with the artist as .an experience of gentle revelation. and the artist s works as .sublime in their tranquil presence and redolent with a quiet and traditional sense of Japanese formality, but, nonetheless, very much of our time and place. Editor Jackie Cooper explains that Akio Makigawa s works and ideas are the subject of his book ideas that he discussed at length with Garry Emery, John Gollings and herself between 1993 and the artists death on Christmas Eve 1999. Carlier Makigawa determination saw this remarkable book become a reality.". Seller Inventory # 25682
