The New Sculpture 1965-75
I recently borrowed this publication from Lauren Berkowitz. The New Sculpture 1965-75: Between Geometry and Gesture looks at the work of Hesse, Smithson, Tuttle, Nauman, Serra, Le Va, Saret, Sonner, Benglis and Shapiro, major heavy weights in minimalism, feminist art, land art, etc. Published by the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY, 1990, it catalogues an exhibition organised by Richard Armstrong and Richard Marshall. Such an impressive text, with essays from Lucy Lippard, Robert Morris, Marcia Tucker, Lawrence Alloway, Rosalind Krauss etc., but worth spending some time with for the images alone. And timely for Helen Hughes and I in the formulation of our essay for Discreet Objects at Utopian Slumps.
