Book
Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Chris Drury walks -- and works -- in the wild landscapes of the world. Over the last 20 years, he has developed an impressive and highly personal repertoire of sculptural responses to the natural environment. In this first full-scale book on Drury, the work of this inventive English artist is presented in more than 100 large color photographs and his own revealing text. Drury's experiences of places or journeys around the globe are expressed in two kinds of sculpture: mounds or shelters, sometimes filled with fire, are made in remote locations; other pieces, including meticulously worked baskets and exquisitely formed 'bundles' -- of bone, wood, leaf, grass, feather, stone -- are created later from materials picked up along the way. Kay Syrad's introduction analyzes Drury's sculpture in the context of late-20th-century environmental art, drawing parallels with aspects of Zen Buddhism and offering valuable insights into the artist's motivations.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Long overdue, this is the first retrospective study of the work of painter Cleve Gray (b. 1918), who began his artistic career in the late 1940s and '50s when Abstract Expressionism was sweeping the New York art scene. Although an abstractionist, Gray has pursued his own vision outside the trends of the international art world. Nicholas Fox Weber deftly combines biography and critical analysis in his text, which is based on many visits to Gray's studio and extensive interviews with the artist. Superb colorplates present powerful and moving works of art from throughout Gray's career. Notable among these are full-page views of Threnody, the remarkable multipanel painting Gray created as a response to the Vietnam War for the Neuberger Museum at the State University of New York at Purchase. Photographs show the artist as a young man; with his wife, the writer Francine du Plessix Gray; and at work. An exhibition of Gray's paintings opens at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio, in December 1998, and travels to Colby College in Waterville, Maine, and to the Neuberger Museum. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. French photographer Frederic Brenner's Jews /America /A Representation was hailed by The New York Times as 'A huge, handsome . book'. The Forward said: 'He takes as much from Annie Leibovitz as he does from Roman Vishniac'. Now, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the modern State of Israel, Brenner focuses on Jews whose age-old dreams of 'next year in Jerusalem' have come true: they have returned from exile in the Diaspora to the Promised Land. Brenner has traveled for nearly two decades to photograph Jews in more than 40 countries, capturing the diversity of their experiences in different cultures. The 14 recent immigrant families photographed here in Israel were all previously photographed in Ethiopia, Morocco, Yemen, Russia, the United States, England, or India. Brenner asks: how do these families, after so many generations, become Israelis? What unites them? What divides them? How does each family retain its distinct heritage while accepting its most ancient destiny, as Jews returning to the Holy Land?
