Lynn Chadwick: Sculptor: With a Complete Illustrated Catalogue, 1947-1988

Description

The publication documents and reflects upon the two-year exhibition project Utopia and Monument at the steirischer herbst 2009 and 2010 in Graz. Focusing on two special themes 〞 ※The Privatization of Public Sphere§ (2009), and ※Virtuosity and Public Sphere§ (2010) 〞 ten artworks each year, making a total of 20 new works (installed for the duration of the respective exhibition) were commissioned for Graz. As a point of departure, two concepts were provocatively presented for discussion that had disappeared from the debate on public space: ※utopia§ as a space of thought, and the ※monument§ as a space of memory. The book documents the Artist＊s works and discusses them by numerous contribution from renown authors.
