Robert Indiana: The Monumental Woods
Edited by Krystyna Gmurzynska, Mathias Rastorfer, Mitchell Anderson. Forword by Krystyna Gmurzynska, Mathias Rastorfer. Text by Evgenia Petrova, Joachim Pissarro. Interviews by Richard Brown Baker, Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, Mitchell Anderson
The Monumental Woods is a career-spanning retrospective catalogue of wood sculptures from American artist Robert Indiana (born 1928). This publication showcases five decades of work from Indiana’s beginnings in the mid-century New York artist community of Coenties Slip, which included Indiana’s close friends Ellsworth Kelly and Agnes Martin, to his chosen remote island home off the coast of Maine, where he has spent the past four decades. The pieces presented in this book, many reproduced for the first time, offer a retrospective survey of Indiana’s sculptural oeuvre. With its handsome copper-stamped cover, The Monumental Woods includes exhibition shots, archival photographs and detail shots of many sculptures, in addition to a suite of color photos of the artist’s home in Maine. The book concludes with three interviews of Indiana, set decades apart, in which the artist discusses the inspiration and evolution of his sculptures.
