Between 1960 and 1980, the year of his death, Tony Smith produced 47 large-scale outdoor sculptures. These sculptures were both revolutionary and vastly influential. This publication is the first to bring together all these works in a single volume, chronologically exploring the developments in Smith's significant body of work.
Fabricated in steel and painted black, Smith's sculpture evolved from early minimal works to monumental pieces of great geometric intricacy. An architect working under Frank Lloyd Wright and a painter who was a close friend to Jackson Pollock and Barnett Newman, Smith was always concerned with the potential of purified form and color. His sculpture, which he approached late in life, solidifies these investigations, many of his first distilled forms becoming components of his later larger works.
This volume also includes excerpts of interviews with Smith, highlighting the artist's passionate approach to sculpture.
