Hardcover. Color pictorial boards, green and color illus. dust jacket, 680 pp., many color illus. "This huge book -- the largest on contemporary sculpture yet to appear -- is itself an object. The sequence of nearly 700 pages creates, as its title suggests, an artistic view of the future. Unlike other contemporary art, the work of sculpture never simply represents a concept or a metaphor. . Though the objects are laid out like mysterious archaeological artifacts, they suggest traces of future worlds as much as they reflect the weird substance of the present. They are presented as if the reader was, in fact, a visitor from another planet and the objects here displayed constitute the monumental evidence of our lives. . Published in conjunction with a two-part exhibition at the new Saatchi Gallery in London." (dj). VG/VG: Exlibrary book. Sticker on mylar jacket at the base of the spine. Stamp on front free end page.

Condition: Very Good. Hardcover, 672 pages. Published in conjunction with the opening of the new Saatchi Gallery in London, one of today?s most important institutions collecting and exhibiting contemporary art, this mammoth book is the most comprehensive volume on contemporary sculpture. The title itself refers to H. G. Wells?s eponymous novel which envisioned the future and was a surprisingly accurate prophecy reflecting the author?s own time. That book inspired Stanley Kubrick?s film 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which a great monolith is an iconic but enigmatic sculptural presence. This new book opens with an enormous, standing monolithic Styrofoam sculpture of a videocassette of 2001 and, like the Wells book, seeks to explore how sculpture will evolve in the coming decades. Clean, bright copy. Record # 371852.
