Description
Through nearly 300 illustrations of his sculpture and drawings, this volume traces Joel Shapiro's development from the late-1960s. Coming of age with the Post-minimalist generation of the 1970s, and first known for small sculptures of simple house shapes and other tiny structures installed in isolation in open, uninterrupted spaces on gallery floors, by the 1980s he had embraced figurative sculpture, and has since embarked on large-scale outdoor commissions. The book's examination of Shapiro's work includes an introductory essay on his place within the history of 20th-century sculpture, and is accompanied by documentation on his life and coverage of his exhibitions and commissions, public collections of his work, and critical literature.
