Rezensionen
New York School von Irving Sandler
Collection Artist: Richard Stankiewicz
Imagine Mickey Spillane writing a roman a clef about the Abstract Expressionist scene. Hamfisted, misogynistic, not a little ridiculous, but a fascinating document of the era from someone who really lived it.
When I buy art books the written content is secondary to the photographs of the artwork that are in the book. For me, I have to have clear pictures that accurately capture details and colors of the work. And this book definitely meets that standard for me. The images are sharp and crystal clear, accurately capturing David's sculptures from the tiniest welds to the full piece in all of its beauty. The essays are also fantastic, especially since they have one from David's daughter. I highly recommend this book if you're an art fan. It does justice to David Smith's works and is a fantastic addition to any collection.… (mehr)
