Miracle in the Scrap Heap: The Sculpture of Richard Stankiewicz

Created to accompany a travelling exhibition that originated in 2003 at the Addison Gallery of American Art at the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, this slightly oversize catalogue (9.25x12.25<">) provides a definitive introduction to this sculptor and his work. The art, influence, and life of Stankiewicz, who was trained as a welder and went on to make assemblage sculpture from scrap metal, are described in three lengthy essays.
