Sculptural Materiality in the Age of Conceptualism

International Experiments in Italy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sculptural Materiality in the Age of Conceptualism is structured around four distinct but interrelated projects initially realized in Italy between 1966 and 1972: Yayoi Kusama's Narcissus Garden, Michelangelo Pistoletto's Newspaper Sphere (Sfera di giornali), Robert Smithson's Asphalt Rundown, and Joseph Beuys's Arena. Here, they anchor a transnational narrative in which sculpture emerged, as a node, a center of transaction comprised of multiple material phenomena, including objects, images, and actors.
