Schiffer Publishing Ltd African Sculpture
Book SynopsisA comprehensive introduction to the vast range of tribal sculpture from Africa is presented in this photographic survey. Ashanti fertility dolls, Bambara dance headpieces, Bachokwe staff heads, and Bakuba boxes are included in 347 works from Senegal to the Congo regions, Mali to Sierra Leone. This book provides a tremendous opportunity to view the diversity, expressive quality, and sheer evocative power of African art, and to gain a better understanding of one of the great heritages of mankind. Author Warren Robbins, founder and former director of the National Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C., presents these pieces from the perspective of two civilizations -- Africa and the West. Believing that the works are classical rather than primitive art, his sensitive analysis of the stylistic refinements of the various tribes past and present emphasizes the importance of preserving this art for posterity. The text and captions are presented in both English and French.

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Robert Engman Sculpture
Book SynopsisRobert Engman's work over the last fifty years has ranged in size from monumental to miniature. Large pieces he has created for major cities and museums in decades past have common attributes but he had never formally attempted to make a series of related works.In the last ten years, he has cast a group of 52 distinctive small sculptures,whose modest scale has allowed him to realize his vast number of sculptural ideas more efficiently. This collection clearly demonstrates how Engman's work expands and alters three-dimensional structural concepts.Divided into nine families, the sculptures'' forms are based on different combinations of circles and squares in flat and warped planes. Each piece is shown from several angles, revealing strikingly different perspectives.

Abbeville Press Inc.,U.S. Ronald Bladen Sculpture
Book SynopsisThe first monograph on a pivotal figure of postwar American art.Best known for his monumental sculptures, Ronald Bladen (19181988) was regarded as an artistic forerunner by such minimalist artists as Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, and Carl Andre. But in contrast to the matter-of-fact work of these artists, Bladen's sculptures are charged with emotional power. They fill entire rooms, pressing outward against the walls and ceiling; their themes include the force of gravity, the dynamism of planar surfaces, the impact of scale, and confrontation with the viewer.This splendidly illustrated book presents a comprehensive overview of Bladen''s career: his breakthrough works such as Untitled (Three Elements), a standout at the Jewish Museum's legendary Primary Structures exhibition of 1966; his monumental outdoor commissions of the late 1960s through the 1980s; and his reflective wall reliefs of 1980s. Bladen's drawings and working models are discussed i

Rizzoli International Publications Irving Harper Works in Paper
Book SynopsisAn intimate monograph of the professional and personal creations of a midcentury design legend. Irving Harper is the most famous designer you have never heard of. Working as an associate at the office of George Nelson in the 1950s and ’60s, Harper was responsible for such icons of midcentury design as the Marshmallow sofa, the Ball clock, and numerous Herman Miller textile designs. Harper’s unrecognized contribution to this seminal era of design, and his incredible paper sculptures (made in his spare time to relieve stress), are presented for the first time in this book. An essay by design critic Julie Lasky introduces Harper’s commercial design work, recognizable designs from graphics to domestic goods to furniture that are still coveted and appreciated today, designed for the offices of Raymond Loewy, George Nelson, and then his own studio Harper + George. The second part of the book documents Harper’s extensive paper sculptures, which have never been exhibitTrade Review“Irving Harper…does incredible things with paper—abstract and realistic, monochromatic and colorful, fanciful and farcical—has been collected in the stunningly designed Irving Harper...” ~New York Times Book Review“…a sprawling love letter to an under-appreciated design master, a man who not only birthed some of the last century’s most inspiring work, but also made time to craft jaw-dropping works of art from common materials…filled with beautiful photography of Harper’s art and his home, this book paints a lovely portrait of a quiet but wildly creative man and his work.” ~Design Sponge“Works In Paper surveys Harpers’ unparalleled creativity in the form of nearly 300 paper sculptures produced as a pastime over a forty-year period. Rarely seen, these works have been carefully restored, documented, and assembled for the first time.
