About this Item

This is a sparkling BRAND NEW BOOK which is in MINT / PRISTINE condition, just as is its DJ, which is now protected with a Mylar covering. Ratcliff does a great job here in presenting the sculpture of this remarkable artist. Venet can have massive pieces of steel whipped around In every direction, and when it is finished, it is still growing. Awesome stuff here, and highly recommended. We venture there is no better copy to be found. Size: Quatro. Bookseller Inventory # 101472

About this title

Synopsis:

One of France's most uniquely compelling artists, Bernar Venet has devoted the last two decades to an investigation of meaning and form in sculpture. Venet was trained as a painter but quickly became involved with conceptual art, experimenting with mathematical and aesthetic principles in a variety of media, particularly sculpture. In this illustrated book, critic Carter Ratcliff provides an illuminating look at the complex relationship between form, language, and meaning in Venet's recent work.
