This catalog raisonné provides pictures and descriptions of the works of American sculptor Kenneth Campbell (1913-1986). Campbell's stone carvings are abstract expressions of motion and balance. They aim for a refinement of line which is essentially classical, but which also reflects the artist's interest in Oriental art and philosophy. Campbell worked directly, with hand tools, in American marbles from Georgia, Vermont, Tennessee, and Alabama. Many pieces are in a laminated technique that facilitates combining and contrasting stones of various colors. Campbell's smaller marble carvings are monolithic pieces twenty to forty inches high. Larger pieces, which can be disassembled, are from six to ten feet high, and consist of stacked units secured by concealed stainless steel pins. Campbell, a student of the three-dimensional arts of Egypt, India, and China, but also of megaliths, called the stacking technique Stone on Stone, the title used for most of his exhibitions. The artist executed four monumental site works, including the one pictured on this book cover in Austria, and envisioned most of his works being made on a monumental scale. Museums that have included Campbell's pieces in their collections are Whitney Museum of American Art, National Museum of American Art at the Smithsonian, Walker Art Center, Brooklyn Museum, Kalamazoo Art Institute, and Storm King Art Center.

The vast majority of material in this book was compiled by Patricia Sloane (1934-2001) with the help of Catherine Gallitelli. Sloane was a painter, an art historian, an author and married Kenneth in 1959. She was a professor of fine arts at NYC Technical College - CUNY, wrote several books on the ways we relate to color as well as a book on T.S. Elliott poems. Since she was both an art historian and enthusiastic about Kenneth's work she took on the project of creating a catalog of his sculptural works. Unfortunately, she died before being able to complete the task. Alan S. Campbell is Kenneth's son by his first marriage and also a fan of his work and an admirer of Pat's enthusiasm and tenacity. He collected Pat's work and put in a format that worked with CreateSpace to generate this book
