Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 96


This extensive collection of sculptures by painter, sculptor and printmaker Mimmo Paladino, including some of his most significant work, makes a case for sculpture as the great public art of the twenty first century. Paladino, who is well aware that art is rooted in history, suspects that sculpture may be the only medium brawny enough to compete with the expansive scale of contemporary architecture that dominates today's urban environment. The work included here does not tolerate indifference, nor does it strive for acceptance or complacency--Paladino's extraordinary ability to transfigure materials, and his belief in their power, sets a solid, true course.
