Robert Irwin : Being and Circumstance, Notes Toward A Conditional Art

description

"Robert Irwin, who is one of the most important artists of this era, was a seminal figure in 'Light and Space' art. He began as an Abstract Expressionist painter in the 1950s, and was for some time (but no longer) an artist who produced no art objects. Irwin's philosophical and aesthetic theories are so far-reaching that only now, some twenty years after they were first posited, had the art world begun to recognize that his questions about perception come to bear upon the definition of art itself. ... This book, written by the artist, lays out his theoretical positions and documents the working process behind seventeen major sculpture projects created overr the past decade." -- from dust-jacket's end-flaps.
