Modern Sculpture by Douglas Dreishpoon

This tapestry of primary sources is an essential primer on sculpture and its makers.   Modern Sculpture presents a selection of manifestos, documents, statements, articles, and interviews from more than ninety sculptors, including a diverse selection of contemporary sculptors. With this book, editor Douglas Dreishpoon defers to artists, whose varied points of view illuminate sculpture’s transformation—from object to action, concept to phenomenon—over the course of more than a century. Chapters arranged in chronological sequences highlight dominant stylistic, philosophical, and thematic threads uniting kindred groups. The result is an artist-centric history of sculpture as a medium of consequence and character.
Douglas Dreishpoon, Chief Curator Emeritus at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, New York, is currently director of the catalogue raisonné project at the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation and consulting editor at the Brooklyn Rail. He is the coauthor of Helen Frankenthaler: Late Works, 1988–2009.
