This tapestry of primary sources is an essential primer on
sculpture and its makers. Modern Sculpture presents a selection of
manifestos, documents, statements, articles, and interviews from
more than ninety sculptors, including a diverse selection of
contemporary sculptors. With this book, editor Douglas Dreishpoon
defers to artists, whose varied points of view illuminate
sculpture's transformation-from object to action, concept to
phenomenon-over the course of more than a century. Chapters
arranged in chronological sequences highlight dominant stylistic,
philosophical, and thematic threads uniting kindred groups. The
result is an artist-centric history of sculpture as a medium of
consequence and character.
Paul Feeley (19101966) is a towering figure in postwar American
modernism. His legendary tenure as head of the art department at
Bennington College and resulting associations with the likes of
Lawrence Alloway, Helen Frankenthaler, Clement Greenberg, Jackson
Pollock, and David Smith informed his unique approach to painting
as an open-ended proposition. Represented during his lifetime by
the Betty Parsons Gallery and honored posthumously by a
retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, he is the
subject of this timely new publication, which accompanies a major
exhibition organized by the Albright- Knox Art Gallery and the
Columbus Museum of Art.In addition to color plates of all works in
the exhibitionnearly one hundred paintings, works on paper, and
sculpturesthis volume features essays by exhibition curators
Douglas Dreishpoon and Tyler Cann, as well as poet and critic
Raphael Rubinstein, and an illustrated chronology by academic and
granddaughter of the artist Cary Cordova. From his early Abstract
Expressionistinspired paintings to his organic, anthropomorphic
figureground compositions and later diagrammatical, hard-edged
works, "Imperfections by Chance" charts the full range of Feeley s
influential life and career.The accompanying exhibition opens at
