David Smith

This book, the first retrospective of the abstract expressionist sculptor David Smith since 1969, is the most comprehensive book on the artist yet published. With new photographs of 110 pieces dating from 1932 to 1965, including important examples from each period, as well as extensive new research on his life and philosophy, it considers Smiths oeuvre as a totality, offering readers the chance to understand the complexity of his aesthetic concerns as well as his impact on the course of American sculpture and art.
