Michelle Stuart: Sculptural Objects

This title includes a superbly illustrated look at the work of contemporary artist Michelle Stuart.

Whether an earth-rubbed book object infused with soil from Canyon de Chelly, or a multi-media work depicting crossroads of trade in the Yucatan, Michelle Stuart's art conveys a sense of cultural history and distant places.

This intimate, visually stunning volume focuses on the artist's small sculptures and sculptural installations.

Opening with a critical essay by Lucy Lippard, whose decades-long friendship with Stuart gives her unique insight into her practice, the book features journal entries interspersed among its more than 150 sensuous illustrations, conveying an eloquent sense of time and process. "Sculptural Objects" provides a glimpse not only of what inspires Stuart's art making, but also of the journey a creative mind takes in solving the mysteries of being.
