An important lost chapter in the history of modern art is now available in paperback. Prior to 1966, if artists wanted to create works larger than their studios or metalworking abilities allowed, they had to turn to industrial manufacturers, who were often unable to accommodate the creative process of making art. Large Scale tells the story of Lippincott, Inc., which, from 1966 to 1994, put the tools of industrial fabrication in the hands of artists, allowing them to produce at a scale they had previously only dreamed of on paper. Lippincott worked with artists from the conception of a project to the completed sculpture, displaying pieces in the field adjoining the shop before installing them all over the country and the world. Drawing on the vast collection of images in the Lippincott archive, Large Scale presents more than three hundred photographs of these artists and their iconic works.
The Cass Sculpture Foundation grew out of a belief that there was the need to develop a new model for commissioning and exhibiting large-scale sculpture, one that would allow the Foundation to remain completely sustainable, regularly change the works on display, and give established and emerging sculptors worldwide the opportunity to realize ambitious new works.Since its inception in 1992, the Foundation has commissioned and exhibited over four hundred works from important contemporary artists including: Anthony Caro, Tony Cragg, Stephen Cox, Andy Goldsworthy, Marc Quinn, Kiki Smith, Gavin Turk, Marianne Vitale, and Rachel Whiteread. These have been displayed across the Foundation's twenty-six acres of woodland at Goodwood, West Sussex.
Plates of all Tony Smith's large-scale sculptures presented in chronological order and accompanied by texts by the artist.
Large-scale ceramics demand a number of considerations that do not concern most ceramicists. Kiln size required, assembling, weatherproofing and installation are things that must be taken into account. This book discusses these issues as well as giving advice on obtaining and handling commissions.
