Description from the seller
Brancusi Serra:
Central aspects of Brancusi's oeuvre are highlighted through a carefully curated selection of about thirty-five sculptures. The publication opens with his groundbreaking conception of sculpture, where the pursuit of the essence of form is realized through a reduction of volume. The book, conceived as a retrospective, presents exemplary works in marble, bronze, wood, and plaster; these arose over a period of nearly four decades and pertain to specific thematic groups. The exploration of this fundamental question—the essence of sculpture and its possibilities—continues with an analysis of sculptures from various creative periods of Richard Serra. By placing works by both artists directly alongside each other, both shared characteristics and intriguing differences come to light, allowing us to experience anew the universal power of sculpture.
Format 31 x 25 cm, 243 pages. Book in new condition.
