Item description from seller

Hardcover. Abstract Expressionist sculptor and painter Herbert Ferber (1906 - 1991) is best remembered for his steel sculptures. "The lavishly illustrated text by art historian and critic E.C. Goossen, a long-time colleague and friend of Ferber's, outlines the major developments in the artist's sculpture and painting. His analysis of sevearl key works is illuminated by reproductions of Ferber's sketches and models for the pieces. In supplementary essay - by turns witty, cantankerous, and impassioned - Ferber himself recalls the exciting, innovative art world of the '40s and '50s, and provocatively contrasts it to the commercialized milieu of today" (dust jacket). Folio. Brown cloth covered boards with gilt title to front board and to spine. Slight fading to edges of boards. Interior is clean and bright with illustrations throughout, many of which are in full color. Blue illustrated dust jacket with black title to front panel and to white spine panel. Slight fading to edge of front panel. 228 pages. ART511231. Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket.
