Scale is perhaps the most spectacularly overlooked aspect of
artistic production. As photographic and digital reproductions have
essentially dematerialized art, critical and historical research
dealing with scale--both within the American critical tradition and
abroad--has become scattered and insufficiently theorized. However,
by posing a specific challenge, such research forces a heightened
recognition of both the properties of materials and the deep
technical knowledge of makers. A reconsideration of scalar
relationships in American art and visual culture therefore reveals
original insights. Scale is the second volume in the Terra
Foundation Essays series. With eighty color illustrations and a
wealth of new research from Glenn Adamson, Wendy Bellion, Wouter
Davidts, Darcy Grimaldo Grigsby, Christopher P. Heuer, Joshua G.
Stein, and Jason Weems, it explores viewers' physical relationship
to Barnett Newman's abstract canvases, the arduous engineering
behind the creation of Mount Rushmore, and the charged significance
of liberty poles in the landscape of eighteenth-century New York,
among other topics that range from studies of specific works of art
to significant conceptual and theoretical concerns.
