Paperback. Condizione: VG. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. Light cover wear. Foreword Sculpture in its many forms has dominated the terrain of international art in the late 1980s, just as figurative painting marked the earlier part of the decade. If the sculptural object has often taken center stage in the ma…rketplace, the periphery has continued to embrace such modes of expression as the environmental/sculptural statement. As one measure of the times, the last several Biennials at the Whitney Museum of American Art have reflected a notable increase in site-specific installations as part of the American scene. As many contemporary sculptors have rejected high-tech materials and processes, they have returned to more sensuous materials and a handmade quality to art. Installations as an artform have often led to experimentation with a vast range of materials new to art galleries and museums. With two decades of installation works in Chicago as background, we can now begin to record a history of the genre and to assess its continuing creative and critical impulses as we approach the 1990s. Arriving at a definition of installation art and avoiding the usual jargon is still difficult at best. Installations occur when the safe and often esoteric confines of the traditional gallery or museum space are manipulated by the artist into a controlled viewing experience. They require the observer to disregard the predictable approach to the art object, and to engage in a response formulated by the situation presented. Generally speaking, installations are best defined through interaction, bringing the artist and the viewer "face to face" in an encounter of thought and feeling. Present at the Creation grew out of the desire to showcase Chicago-based artists whose works do not fit the traditional format of institutional or commercial exhibitions. The title is a double entendre suggesting both the presence of the artist in the creative act, and the role of the public in its subsequent encounter with the creative process. It is loosely derived from a quote by Alphonsos X, King of Castile and Leone, a notable 13th century poet and intellectual. The emphasis here is given to five artists as inventors of experience, not on a shared motive or a particular aesthetic theme. Their range of artistic concerns reveals the primary strengths of the artform of installations: its emphasis on content through form?inviting the viewer into an orchestrated environment in order to respond to ideas and sensations. 45 pages.

The single best book on the photographic art and achievement of Barbara Crane. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Pub…lished in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by The City of Chicago. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Joan Sommers: Oversize-volume format. The book weighs 7 pounds. Gray cloth boards with titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Barbara Crane. Text by various contributors. Printed in quadrotone and color on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published on the occasion of the photographer's 80th birthday and in conjunction with the travelling exhibition organized by Chicago in her honor, which commenced at the Amon Carter Museum Fort Worth from February through May, 2009, came back to Chicago on October 3, 2009, ran through January 10, 2010, and travelled on to other venues in 2010. Presents Barbara Crane's "Challenging Vision". Her finest and most representative images, taken over a fruitful sixty-year career. "Crane's work is, foremost, about Nature, both human nature and that of the biological world. One shares her world of intimate visual discoveries either captured by the camera or created from pure imagination. Crane has forged her own path of photographic invention, often as the lone woman in a male-dominated field. For the past sixty years, she has reinvented her vision and pursued new subjects and compositional challenges, even in the Digital Age. She fully embraces the emotional and formal aspects of the medium to challenge vision" (Publisher's blurb). Barbara Crane has stated that her lifelong goal as a photographer has been to "attempt to eradicate previous habits of seeing and thinking, to keep searching for what is visually new while always hoping that a fusion of form and content will take place", and that "once I developed my first roll of film in 1948, nothing else mattered" (Barbara Crane). Indefatigable until the end, Barbara Crane died on August 7, 2019 at the age of 91. An absolute "must-have" title for Barbara Crane collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available, is still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws yet command unheard-of prices (in the hundreds to more than a thousand dollars) because the book is scarce in any condition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. 178 quadrotone, 115 color plates. One of the finest American photographers of our time. A fine copy.
