Over time, he has grown into an international figure who has created grand sets for operas and computerized animation for panoramic screens. In this sweeping examination of Gronk's oeuvre, Max Benavidez elucidates how the artist can cross genres, sexual categories, and ethnic barriers, yet still remain true to himself. From street murals to mail art, from large-scale action painting to performance art and operatic set design, Gronk has made a lasting mark on the Chicano art movement, the ...

Barbara Chase-Riboud Monumentale

The catalogue features both celebrated and never-before-seen artworks, highlighting the artist's groundbreaking role in the field of contemporary sculpture.
