An expansive view of Gormley's work, including new perspectives on its engagement with public space and its philosophical underpinningsPublished with Nasher Sculpture Center.Spanning the breadth of his career, from the late 1970s to the present day, this monograph surveys the development and evolution of British artist Antony Gormley's (born 1950) sculpture practice. Employing a wide-ranging use of organic, industrial and elemental materials over the years—including iron, steel, hand-beaten lead, seawater and clay—Gormley's kinetic sculptures interrogate the human body's relationship to space.Survey presents a chronology of 60 large-scale and commissioned projects exhibited across the world, as well as a new public project in which the artist affixed open-form sculptures on top of buildings surrounding the Nasher Sculpture Center. It also includes new scholarly essays on the artist's work by philosopher Thomas Nail and independent art historian and writer Amanda Gluibizzi, as well as an interview with the artist conducted by curator Jed Morse.

Sze's mixed-media works for the Nasher Sculpture Center call into question the definition of artistic mediums and how memory marks time and spacePublished with Nasher Sculpture Center.Since the late 1990s, Sarah Sze (born 1969) has been making mesmerizing installations that challenge the static nature of art and transform the spaces they inhabit. Appearing at once arbitrary and meticulously planned, in the midst of coming together and falling apart, her work contains layered references to the world's rapidly changing, image-driven digital present. Working across painting, sculpture, sound, print, drawing, video and architecture, Sze's work amplifies the myriad ephemeral details of contemporary life, making palpable poetry of the often-ineffable aspects of human experience. Three new installations, created for the spaces of the Nasher Sculpture Center, emphasize how experience is continually reshaped by the constant stream of visual information around us, and the role of memory in forming our perception. This lavishly illustrated publication documents these works and the 2024 exhibition and features more than 850 color photographs.

Spanning the full career of the sculptor David Smith (1906–65), this study features some fifty sculptures alongside related paintings, reliefs, and works on paper to reclaim the primacy of nature within his expansive oeuvre.Smith’s adventurous approach to three-dimensional form has permanently expanded the vocabulary and range of sculptural practice. The first American artist to make welded metal sculptures and incorporate industrial means in his work, Smith’s enlistment of nature as material and prime setting for his art was equally innovative. As explored in the book’s introduction, reflections by the artist’s daughters, and an essay by Jed Morse, Smith’s creative vision is firmly rooted in landscape and the natural world.

Italian-born American artist Harry Bertoia (1915-1978) was one of the most prolific, innovative artists of the post-war period. Trained at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he met future colleagues and collaborators Charles and Ray Eames, Florence Knoll, and Eero Saarinen, he went on to make one-of-a kind jewellery, design iconic chairs, create thousands of unique sculptures including large-scale commissions for significant buildings, and advance the use of sound as sculptural material. His work speaks to the confluence of numerous fields of endeavour, but is united throughout by a sculptural approach to making and an experimental embrace of metal.Harry Bertoia: Sculpting Mid-Century Modern Life accompanies the first U.S. museum retrospective of the artist's career to examine the full scope of his broad, interdisciplinary practice, and feature important examples of his furniture, jewellery, monotypes, and diverse sculptural output. Lavishly illustrated, the book offers new scholarly essays as well as a catalogue of the artists numerous large-scale commissions. It questions how and why we distinguish between a chair, a necklace, a screen, and a freestanding sculpture and what Bertoia's sculptural things, when taken together, say about the fluidity of visual language across culture, both at mid-century and now.
