Serra and Foster explore such subjects as the artist's work in steel mills as a young man; the impact of music, dance, and architecture on his art; the importance of materiality and site specificity to his aesthetic; the controversies and contradictions his work has faced; and his belief in sculpture as experience. They also discuss sources of inspiration--from Donatello and Brancusi to Japanese gardens and Machu Picchu--revealing a history of sculpture across time and culture through the eyes of one of the medium's most brilliant figures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Introduced with an insightful preface by Foster, this probing dialogue is beautifully illustrated with duotone images that bring to life both Serra's work and his key commitments.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45031975682199,"sku":"9780300235968","price":3119.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300235968.webp?v=1769207502","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/conversations-about-sculpture-9780300235968","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
