Richard Wilson: Jammin Gears - Softcover
Richard Wilson is one of the foremost exponents of installation art working in the world today. His seminal work 20:50, a sea of reflective sump oil permanently installed in the Saatchi Collection, London, has been described as "one of the masterpieces of the twentieth century." More recent pieces that have generated universal critical acclaim include Slice of Reality, a 70-foot high vertical cross-section of a 600-ton dredger located in the Thames next to the Millennium Dome in London, and Set North for Japan, a full-scale steel framework replica of the artist's own house, displaced and inverted in the Japanese countryside. This, the first monograph on the artist, examines the full spectrum of his work, moving from models, drawings, and his many gallery-based projects to collaborations with architects and engineers to realize such major architectural interventions as Over Easy, a 25-foot, imperceptibly rotating, disc-shaped section of a building's facade that challenges our collective expectation and experience of how space and materials should behave. Richard Wilson includes more than fifty pieces made over the past twenty years, as well as a comprehensive checklist that also includes earlier projects from the 1970s, offering a long overdue survey of the work of one of the most important artists of modern times.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Soft cover. Photographically illustrated laminated wrappers. Installations by Richard Wilson. Essay by Andrew Wilson. Includes a select bibliography and a list of illustrations. Designed by Peter B. Willberg. 56 pp., with 28 four-color plates. 13-3/4 x 9-3/4 inches. Published on the occasion of a 1996 exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, London. Fine. From the essay by Andrew Wilson: "Jamming Gears does not just take as its hidden material the spaces between walls or under the floors, but also seeks to find a hidden space of sight. Not satisfied with just revealing that there are physical spaces that are hidden, Wilson here, as elsewhere, attempts to provide the space for a perceptual experience that might itself be out of reach. The object might exist, believable, immediate and tangible but, as soon as that is grasped, the image leads the beholder elsewhere. This dichotomy, so important to Wilson, between internal and external spaces, acts persuasively not just in terms of the actual physical object but the ways in which they are perceived, 'with the eyes' and 'by the senses.' We see a space that has had its boundaries physically transgressed and yet the image our senses hold onto is one framed by a belief in material truth.". Seller Inventory # 105102
