For nearly forty years, John Van Alstine has created abstract
sculptures forged from steel and stone. In John Van Alstine:
Sculpture, 1971-2018, three notable essayists explore the
sculptor's abstract landscapes that reveal the complex synergy
between natural forces and man-made elements; by grappling with the
challenges of balancing stone and steel, Van Alstine's indoor,
outdoor, and site-specific sculptures are measured and calculated,
yet simultaneously poetic; their swooping angular lines create
expansive spaces beyond the limits of their steel and stone frames
to unveil our collective history and imagination, illuminating a
deft interplay of natural energies and the human experience. The
artist weaves into his works elements of mythology, celestial
navigation, implements, human figures, movement, urban forms, and
found objects, while using motion, balance, and inertia to
incorporate the eternal forces of gravity, tension, and erosion. In
an essay on his drawings, Van Alstine details the critical role
they play in the initiation and planning of his projects, offering
the reader a firsthand perspective on the artist's creative
process. Van Alstine's works have been featured in numerous solo
and group exhibitions and are found in the permanent collections of
the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture
Garden, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art, and the
Phillips Collection, to name but a few. His works are also found in
numerous public and private collections. The Artist Book Foundation
is gratified to announce the publication of this lavishly
illustrated monograph on an esteemed and prolific contemporary
artist.
