In \u003ci\u003eAs Long as the Sun Lasts\u003c\/i\u003e--his most recent work and the subject of the 2021 installment in The Met's Roof Garden Commission series--he draws together the beloved \u003ci\u003eSesame Street\u003c\/i\u003e character Big Bird and the kinetic sculptural works of Alexander Calder. This compact volume presents images and analysis of the new installation, considering it in the context of his past work and featuring fascinating records of the artist's process, including sketches and images from his studio. An interview with Da Corte provides further insight into his diverse artistic inspirations, which range from Renaissance painting to horror films, and elaborates on how art history, politics, and religion inform his work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (April 16-October 31, 2021)","brand":"Metropolitan Museum of Art New York","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573028503703,"sku":"9781588397294","price":1040.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781588397294.webp?v=1774891761","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alex-da-corte-as-long-as-the-sun-lasts-the-roof-garden-commission-9781588397294","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
