Modern & Contemporary Sculpture
Tony Cragg
sILvAnA edITorIALe
Text by Marco franciolli, Guido
Comis.
tony Cragg (born 1949) is one of
Britain’s leading contemporary sculptors,
an explorer of metamorphosis and
the fourth dimension in the otherwise
static domain of sculpture. this catalogue
accompanies a retrospective of
Cragg’s work at the museo d’arte of
Lugano, and gathers together over 40
sculptures and assemblages—some
monumental in scope—and more than
100 drawings and etchings that reveal
the creative processes behind his better-known
pieces. a full presentation
of Cragg’s career to date is provided
here, from his early explorations of the
metaphysics of the mundane in the
late 1970s, to his more recent three-dimensional
smears in space. accompanied
by a never-before-published
interview with the artist and key insights
into the logic behind such
works as “minster” and “Subcommittee,”
this is a must-have book for anyone
interested in the work and thought
of a revolutionary sculptor.

Hans Arp:
Sculptures
A Critical Survey
hATJe CAnTz
edited and with text by Arie hartog,
kai fischer.
Hans arp (1886–1966) can justly be
called the father of twentieth-century
abstract sculpture, an artist whose
impact traversed countless early
modernist avant-gardes, from Dada
and Surrealism to Concrete art. arp’s
sculptures, in all their wondrous
morphous plasticity, lend themselves
ideally to such varied assimilation,
and also—less happily—to forgery. In
recent years, some controversy has
arisen as to the authenticity of several
arp works, as a number of imitations
have circulated in the art market. this
substantial publication, undertaken
by the independent scholars arie
Hartog and Kai Fischer, decisively
counters the problem by assembling
all of the authenticated examples of
every one of arp’s known sculptures
and bringing their respective status
up to date. an introductory essay
describes the posthumous history
of Hans arp’s oeuvre.

Henry Moore
hAYwArd PubLIshInG
foreword by Caroline douglas.
Text by benedict read.
this beautiful small-format book presents
a range of key works by the major
english sculptor, Henry moore (1898–
1986), and examines his early relationship
with the arts Council Collection
(aCC) as advisor to its acquisitions
committee in the early 1950s. Henry
moore was a major force in shaping the
sculpture collection of the aCC, advocating
the acquisition of a significant
group of postwar British sculpture by
such artists as Kenneth armitage,
Lynn Chadwick and Barbara Hepworth.
moore himself is strongly represented
in the Collection (art historian
Kenneth Clark, a critical figure in the
history of the aCC, encouraged moore
to donate his early works), and 26
works—including sculptures, prints
and drawings—are reproduced here in
color, accompanied by critical commentary
by Benedict read. this is a
succinct history of Henry moore’s
practice between 1929 and 1962.

Charles Ross: The
Substance of Light
rAdIus books
Text by Thomas Mcevilley, klaus
ottmann, virginia dwan, Anna halprin,
Michael heizer, steve katz, donald
kuspit, ed ranney, Jean-hubert
Martin. Interview with Löic Malle.
Charles ross’ fascination with light,
time and the space of the stars has produced
a major earthwork, large-scale
prism installations, sculpture, and
painting with dynamite. From Star
Axis, a vast architectonic earth/star
work in the new mexico desert, to his
Solar Burns series made by burning
wood-panel monochromes with focused
rays of the sun, ross allows the
natural patterns and forces of the cosmos
to inform his work. The Substance
of Light is a comprehensive volume
that covers over four decades of work
and features full-color illustrations of
his Solar Spectrum artworks, Star Axis,
his Solar Burns, Star Maps and Explosion
Paintings and Drawings, along
with early work and selected architectural
commissions. major essays by
thomas mcevilley and Klaus
ottmann, as well as an extensive interview
with Loïc malle and a range of
historical texts are also included.

Alina
Szapocznikow
kerber
Preface by harald spengler. Text by Anda rottenberg,
Philip Topolovac.
the polish sculptor alina Szapocznikow (1926–1973)
has been the subject of renewed and intense interest
over the past few years, with much anticipation of her
major touring U.S. survey in 2012/2013. Szapocznikow’s
sculptural interpretations of the human
body, created from the 1960s onwards in both Communist
poland and postwar paris, are often associated
with the artist’s experience as a survivor of the Holocaust,
but also anticipate more recent preoccupations
with “the abject” in their often dark intimations of dismemberment,
decay and mutation. this volume, published
for an exhibition at the Kunstparterre in
munich, includes drawings and sculptures from the
breadth of Szapocznikow’s tragically brief career, as
well as documentation of the exhibition, statements
and a letter by the artist, and an extensive timeline of
her life and work.

The Museum of Modern Art, new York
foreword by xandra eden. Text by valerie Cassel.
american artist Leonardo Drew (born 1961) creates
large-scale sculptural installations incorporating both
manipulated and found materials such as paper,
wood, tree branches and roots, rust and mud. these
materials are often stacked on top of one another,
arranged in gradations of length or shape, endowing
the sculpture itself with contrasting qualities of rigorous
organization and organic chaos or proliferation.
Drew has been making variations on this repetoire of
humble materials since the 1970s, having had his first
solo exhibition at the age of 13. With nearly 100 color
reproductions of these works, this volume provides
an overview of Drew’s four-decade career, from the
dramatic sculptures and installations of the 1980s and
the enormous wall tableaux of the 1990s to the more
fragile paper casts of the past decade.

Kienholz:
Five Car Stud
LouIsIAnA MuseuM of Modern ArT
ArT hIGhLIGhTs
edited by Michael Juul holm. Introduction by Paul
erik Tøjner, Anders kold. Text by roberto ohrt,
Thomas Mcevilley. Interview with Paul McCarthy.
edward Kienholz’s life-size tableau “Five Car Stud”
(1969–72) depicts four automobiles and a pickup
truck, arranged on a dirt floor in a dark room with
their headlights illuminating a shocking scene:
a group of white men exacting their gruesome
“punishment” on an african american man. “Five
Car Stud” is a harsh reminder of a shameful part
of our history whose traces still linger. It was seen
only in germany in 1972 and has since remained in
storage in Japan for almost 40 years. on the occasion
of its first public showing in the United States, this
volume examines an extraordinarily powerful artistic
statement that has lost none of its potency. the
catalogue presents essays by roberto ohrt and
thomas mcevilley, as well as an interview with
american artist paul mcCarthy.
