Items related to The Prototype Works
Beginning in 1965, but especially in the years between 1967 and 1971, Lewis Baltz made a body of work concentrated on the dialectic between simple, regular geometric forms found in the postwar industrial landscape, and the culture that generated such forms. Stucco walls, parking lots, the sides of warehouse sheds or disused billboards baked in the steady Californian sunlight. Baltz called his works "Prototypes," by which he meant replicable social conventions as well as model structures of replicable manufacture.
Marking Baltz's preliminary forays into a minimal aesthetic, The Prototype Works continued his work to capture the reality of a sprawling Western ecology gone wild.

Book Description Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 1ª Edición. A partir de 1965, pero especialmente en los años entre 1967 y 1971, Lewis Baltz realizó un cuerpo de trabajo concentrado en la dialéctica entre las formas geométricas simples y regulares que se encuentran en el paisaje industrial de la posguerra y la cultura que generó tales formas. Paredes de estuco, estacionamientos, costados de cobertizos de almacenes o vallas publicitarias en desuso quemadas bajo la constante luz del sol de California. Baltz llamó a sus obras "Prototipos", con lo que se refería a convenciones sociales replicables, así como estructuras modelo de fabricación replicable.
