Cream cloth with brown stamped decoration on front cover, cream & illus. dust jacket, 320 pp. color & BW illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2015-2016 exhibition of sculpture by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), "the first large-scale retrospective of Pablo Picasso's sculpture in the United States in almost half a century. [This book] is a sweeping survey of the artist's innovative work in three dimensions.. During his lifetime, Picasso kept the majority of his sculptures in his private possession. Beacuse of their relative lack of visibility as compared to Picasso's paintings, they have long been discussed as the least-known facet of his protean career. [This book] takes a different perspective: it chronicles the vibrant lives of his sculptures, demonstrating that they indeed were exhibited, published, and collected, and arguing that they played an important role in Picasso's public reception." (dj) With introductory essays. The catalogue itself is arranged in chronological and illustrated style, followed by the same for exhibitions history and an extensive bibliography. A marvelous new resource that you may not have thought you needed. VG (Slight dj edge war, otherwise like new.) .
