Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "Since the late 1990s, Sarah Sze's distinctive sculptures have riveted and challenged the contemporary art world. Integrating everyday materials into dynamic, complex installations, Sze's work inhabits the boundary between art and daily life while eloquently finessing the lines between painting, sculpture, and architecture." "Whether clustered on ledges, tucked in corners, or stretched across museums, Sze's sculptures transform the locations they conquer and disorient one's sense of time and place, shifting in scale from the humble to the monumental, the manufactured to the natural, and the mundane to the extraordinary. Often structural marvels appearing to teeter on the brink of collapse, the gravity-defying constructions struggle to soar beyond the boundaries of the spaces that contain them. Sze's iconic compositions have been commissioned for numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world. Sarah Sze is the first monograph to span the course of Sze's prolific career and include sculptures, site-specific installations, and works on paper. Art critic Arthur Danto's introductory essay discusses the nature of Sze's originality and its connections with poetry and meaning. In her essay, writer and curator Linda Norden addresses the underlying tension in Sze's work between its individual elements and its larger forms, and examines the question of how matter takes on value, both temporally and spatially" - Publisher.

"Robert Mapplethorpe began taking photographs in 1970 with a Polaroid camera given to him by a friend. Nearly twenty years later, when Mapplethorpe died at the age of forty-two, he was considered one of the most important photographers of his time. His elegant and sometimes shocking nudes, the black-and-white portraits, flower still lifes, and images of sexual sadomasochism had been exhibited widely and were the subject of serious critical attention in Europe and America. A few months after his death, Mapplethorpe became the focus of an acrimonious debate over federal funding of the arts when an exhibition of his work was canceled by the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The director of the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, was subsequently acquitted of obscenity charges brought against him for presenting the same exhibition.".…
