Synopsis
What new paths have sculptors opened up since the end of World War II? Based on late works by Constantin Brancusi and Alberto Giacometti, this unique comprehensive volume illustrates the exciting and multifaceted developments in this dynamic art form. It demonstrates how the classic notion of form and sculpture was set in motion, became more abstract, was brought closer to the ordinary everyday object, dissolved spatial or conceptual boundaries, or even reconstituted itself by returning to figurative traditions. The long and top-class list of the artists being presented ranges from Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, and Jean Tinguely to Franz West, Damien Hirst, and Monika Sosnowska. On the basis of selected works from the Kunstmuseum Basel and outstanding loans from international museums and private collections, the tour opens up a dense, extremely rich world of contrasts. (English edition ISBN 978-3-7757-4071-5) Featured artists (selection):Absalon, Carl Andre, Jean Arp, Max Bill, Louise Bourgeois, Constantin Brancusi, Alexander Calder, John Chamberlain, Eduardo Chillida, Peter Fischli und David Weiss, Katharina Fritsch, Alberto Giacometti, Robert Gober, Duane Hanson, Eva Hesse, Damien Hirst, Donald Judd, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Mario Merz, Henry Moore, Bruce Nauman, Claes Oldenburg, Gabriel Orozco, Pablo Picasso, Charles Ray, Richard Serra, Monika Sosnowska, David Smith, Jean Tinguely, Oscar Tuazon, Danh Vo, Franz West Ausstellung/Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Basel 19.4.–18.9.2016

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut sg - ungelesenes mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten lagerspuren - Ausgehend von Spätwerken Constantin Brancusis und Alberto Giacomettis illustriert dieser einzigartige Überblicksband die spannenden und vielschichtigen Entwicklungen des sehr dynamischen Mediums der Skulptur. Anhand ausgewählter Beispiele wird gezeigt, wie die klassische Vorstellung und Form von Skulptur in Bewegung geriet, abstrakter wurde, sich dem banalen Alltagsobjekt annäherte, räumlich oder konzeptuell entgrenzte oder auch in der Rückbesinnung auf die figurative Tradition neu konstituierte. Die lange und hochkarätige Liste der präsentierten Künstler in der Eröffnungsausstellung des erweiterten Kunstmuseums Basel reicht von Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore oder Alexander Calder bis zu Bruce Nauman und Damien Hirst. Ein vielschichtiger Parcours mit bedeutenden Leihgaben aus internationalen Museen und Privatsammlungen sowie Sammlungswerken aus dem Kunstmuseum Basel eröffnet ein dichtes, überaus reiches Spannungsfeld. (Englische Ausgabe ISBN 978-3-7757-4071-5) Die vorgestellten Künstler (Auswahl): Alberto Giacometti, Hans Arp, Max Bill, Alexander Calder, Louise Bourgeois, Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, Eduardo Chillida, David Smith, Jean Tinguely, Claes Oldenburg, John Chamberlain, Duane Hansen, Carl Andre, Donald Judd, Mario Merz, Bruce Nauman, Richard Serra, Eva Hesse, Katharina Fritsch, Peter Fischli und David Weiss, Robert Gober, Franz West, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Monika Sosnowska, Gabriel Orozco, Charles Ray, Absalon, Damien Hirst, Danh Vo, Oscar Tuazon Ausstellung/Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Basel 19.4.- 18.9.2016.
