Publisher's Synopsis
This is the first major American presentation of Barry Le Va's art in over 15 years, and one that brings together not only the artist's well-known, large-scale sculptures and drawings, but also his works in other media for which he is less known--text, photography, sound and books. Le Va's approach has been ubiquitous to Postmodern practice in art and architecture, and this fully illustrated book, featuring 300 images and four scholarly essays, his illustrated exhibition history and a bibliography, is the definitive survey of his work's development and implicit themes of violence. It accompanies the exhibition Accumulated Vision at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania.
