The Art of Light + Space
Ethereal, evocative, the art of Light and Space pushes the viewer beyond the everyday limits of perception. It takes many different forms and uses many different materials, ranging from natural daylight and scrim to glass, plywood, neon, and fire. It taps into far-ranging ideas and systems of knowledge, including alchemy, Buddhism, aerospace technology, witchcraft, astronomy, physiology, and phenomenology. Written by the foremost authority on the subject and based on more than two decades of research, The Art of Light and Space is the first book to provide an overview of this powerful and increasingly public art form.

Bruce Nauman
"From the beginning I was trying to see if I could make art that did that. Art that was just there all at once. Like getting hit in the face with a baseball bat. Or better yet, like getting hit in the back of the neck. You never see it coming; it just knocks you down.

Sam Francis
"In this full-scale book on Francis, Peter Selz charts the manifold directions taken over the years by this leading second-generation abstract expressionist. Selz's sensitive evaluation gains an added dimension through his long-time friendship with the artist. Besides Francis's earlier works, the superb illustrations include a substantial selection of pieces in all mediums. The volume also contains documentary photographs of the artist and a revised chronology and bibliography. An inveterate experimenter, Francis was one of the early conceptual and process artists, and he broke new ground in printmaking. The book includes essays highlighting his innovations in graphics - including four-foot lithographs and the extraordinary monotypes that Francis calls "instant paintings". -Dust jacket.

Light on Fire
"A groundbreaking biography of Sam Francis, one of the celebrated artists of the twentieth century, and the American painter who brought the vocabulary of abstract expressionism to Paris. Drawing on exclusive interviews and private correspondence, Gabrielle Selz traces the complex life of this magnetic, globe-trotting artist who first learned to paint as a former air-corps pilot encased in a full-body cast for three years. Selz writes an intimate portrait of a mesmerizing character, a man who sought to resolve in art the contradictions he couldn't resolve in life"--
