His body of work, contemporary with the New York School in painting, and his pioneering placement of sculptures in a natural setting are foundational for presentday sculpture and installation art.This threevolume boxed set comprehensively details the entirety of Smiths sculptural oeuvre. It is now the definitive catalogue raisonn and supplants the one constructed by Rosalind E. Krauss in 1977. With Christopher Lyon as editor and Susan J. Cooke as research editor, the volumes also contain a foreword by Rebecca and Candida Smith; essays by Michael Brenson, Sarah Hamill, MarcChristian Roussel, and Christopher Lyon; and a chronology by Tracee Ng. Reproductions of documents and images, including many photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches by the artist offer insights into Smiths methods and creative thought. Handsomely designed and illustrated with fine color reproductions, this catalogue raisonn is both a sumptuous object and an essential scholarly resource.Distributed for the Estate of David Smith\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other Distribution","offers":[{"title":"The Estate of David Smith \/ hardcover","offer_id":47841005175029,"sku":"DADAX0300224117","price":213.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/61aBcASj_WS.jpg?v=1773752781","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/david-smith-sculpture-a-catalogue-raisonne-19321965","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
