Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first monograph on a pivotal figure of postwar American art Best known for his monumental sculptures, Ronald Bladen (1918–1988) was regarded as an artistic forerunner by such minimalist artists as Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, and Carl Andre. But in contrast to the matter-of-fact work of these artists, Bladen’s sculptures are charged with emotional power. They fill entire rooms, pressing outward against the walls and ceiling; their themes include the force of gravity, the dynamism of planar surfaces, the impact of scale, and confrontation with the viewer. This splendidly illustrated book presents a comprehensive overview of Bladen's career: his breakthrough works such as Untitled (Three Elements), a standout at the Jewish Museum’s legendary Primary Structures exhibition of 1966; his monumental outdoor commissions of the late 1960s through the 1980s; and his reflective wall reliefs of 1980s. Bladen’s drawings and working models are discussed in detail, and his early career as a painter is considered in the light of his later sculptural oeuvre. Art historian Robert S. Mattison’s thoughtful analysis of Bladen’s art is informed not only by extensive archival research but also by numerous interviews with Bladen’s contemporaries, including fellow artists like Bill Jensen, Alex Katz, and Dorothea Rockburne. In addition, this volume collects several of the most important critical essays on Bladen, by Irving Sandler, April Kingsley, Bill Berkson, and Naomi Spector. The full scholarly apparatus includes an illustrated chronology of the artist's life and career. Today, Bladen's works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, Storm King Art Center, and the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, among many others. His grasp of the expressive power of mass and abstract form continues to influence sculptors from Richard Serra to Ursula von Rydingsvard. Here, finally, is a book that reveals and elucidates the full extent of his achievement.

Book excerpt: The sculptural works of the American Minimalist Ronald Bladen seem like three-dimensional bodily signs that have been reduced to their most elementary stereometric forms. Often called the "father" of Minimal art, Bladen emerged along with Andre, Flavin, Judd, LeWitt, Morris and Tony Smith in the mid-1960s. This book presents works from the renowned Marzona Collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the characteristics, I think, of all my pieces is that they have a front and they have a back. They seem very human to me -- they always do. In much abstract sculpture it does not matter where you see it from but I want my pieces read in sequence: you see them from the front first, then around, and the back is another identity". "The white and black are philosophically opposed. The white of the inside of the piece is -- well -- it's acceptance, it's love, it's gentle, it's very moving; and the black becomes slightly forbidding -- totally different in experience". "The curve was just worked out by eye. It was not drawn: it was simply laid out on the floor and it seemed a very nice curve and that was it. As you approach the piece -- as you are drawn into it -- you find there is really nothing for the eye to relate to except for an expanse of light that's involving you. And there is the quality of flowing into the piece and not quite being able to determine where the piece begins or stops. You reach a point of stillness in the white..". "Going around the black outside is really very nice because it is disappearing in front of your eyes. You can only see a little bit of it at a time, and it takes quite a long while to walk around. And the other interesting thing is that the back is the same template curve as the front, though the structure is different -- that's hard to realize because the experience of walking on the outside is so different".

Book excerpt: The bare minimum Often regarded as a backlash against abstract expressionism, Minimalism was characterized by simplified, stripped-down forms and materials used to express ideas in a direct and impersonal manner. By presenting artworks as simple objects, minimalist artists sought to communicate esthetic ideals without reference to expressive or historical themes. This critical movement, which began in the 1960s and branched out into land art, performance art, and conceptual art, is still a major influence today. This book explains the how, why, where and when of Minimal Art, and the artists who helped define it. Featured artists: Carl Andre, Stephen Antonakos, Jo Baer, Larry Bell, Ronald Bladen, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Robert Grosvenor, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, Gary Kuehn, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, John McCracken, Robert Morris, Robert Ryman, Fred Sandback, Richard Serra, Tony Smith, Frank Stella, Robert Smithson, Anne Truitt About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Genre Series features: a detailed illustrated introduction plus a timeline of the most important political, cultural and social events that took place during that period a selection of the most important works of the epoch, each of which is presented on a 2-page spread with a full-page image and with an interpretation of the respective work, plus a portrait and brief biography of the artist approximately 100 colour illustrations with explanatory captions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inside an art gallery, it is easy to forget that the paintings there are the end products of a process involving not only creative inspiration, but also plenty of physical and logistical details. It is these "cruder," more mundane aspects of a painter's daily routine that motivated Brooklyn artist Joe Fig to embark almost ten years ago on a highly unorthodox, multilayered exploration of the working life of the professional artist. Determined to ground his research in the physical world, Fig began constructing a series of diorama-like miniature reproductions of the studios of modern art's most legendary painters, such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. A desire for firsthand references led Fig to approach contemporary artists for access to their studios. Armed with a camera and a self-made "Artist's Questionnaire," Fig began a journey through the workspaces of some of today's most exciting contemporary artists.

The result is an artist-centric history of sculpture as a medium of consequence and character.

Book excerpt: * Ronald Bladen (1918-1988) is best known for his monumental sculptures* Some of his best-known pieces are Earth Drawings, which he created in his early career, and Three Elements, which was featured at the breakthrough exhibition Primary Structures at The Jewish Museum in 1966* Bladen's pieces are tributes to the monumentality of sculpture, what the artist called "presence"Ronald Bladen (1918-1988) is best known for his monumental sculptures. He was regarded as an artistic forerunner by Minimalist artists such as Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, and Carl Andre. His large objects fill entire rooms, and his themes include the force of gravity, the dynamism of planar surfaces, the impact of scale, and the emotional power of confrontation with the viewer.Bladen's early career took place in San Francisco where he created Earth Drawings made from soil and water, as well as powerful, densely textured paintings that suggest topographical forces. He moved to New York City in 1956, where he became a founding member of the cooperative Brata Gallery and produced collages of folder paper followed by plywood reliefs that were exhibited at Green Gallery. He then devoted his attention to grand, freestanding sculptures. He exhibited Three Elements in the breakthrough exhibition Primary Structures at The Jewish Museum in 1966, and presented his enormous sculpture X in the courtyard of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.During the later 1960s and 1970s, Bladen received important public commissions for towering steel works in New York City, Seattle, Albany, Buffalo, Baltimore, Düsseldorf, Germany, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This first monographic study of Bladen's art connects him to the artistic, intellectual, and social forces of his age. Copiously illustrated, it presents a comprehensive record of his oeuvre and documentary photographs of his working process, in addition to a complete chronology, bibliography, and exhibitions list.

This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monuments and Site-Specific Sculpture in Urban and Rural Space presents a collection of essays discussing works of art whose formal qualities, content and spatial interactions expand our idea of creation and commemoration. By addressing projects that range from war memorials to commemorations of individuals, as well as works that engage real and virtual environments, this book brings to light new aspects concerning twentieth and twenty-first century monuments and site-specific sculpture. The book addresses the work of, among others, Günter Demnig, Michael Heizer, Thomas Hirschhorn, Dani Karavan, Costantino Nivola, Melissa Shiff and John Craig Freeman, Robert Smithson, and Micha Ullman. A lucid, thought-provoking discussion of creative processes and the discourse between site-specific sculpture and its publics is provided in this collection. As such, it is vital and indispensable for historians, art historians and artists, as well as for every reader interested in the interrelations of art, urban and rural spaces, community and the makings of memory.
