Tony Smith Architecture: Catalogue Raisonné Volume 2 [9780262049511]

Overview

Documenting the extraordinary breadth of architectural production by American artist Tony Smith (1912–1980), this comprehensive book reveals the depth and complexity of Smith’s work in architecture.

The Tony Smith Architecture Catalogue Raisonné Volume 2 presents the full extent of identified production in architecture by Tony Smith. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced, the catalogue raisonné spans Smith’s influential intellectual and creative pursuits in the field. It is the first volume to offer a complete record of Smith’s architectural output and is the most comprehensive documentation to date of Smith’s built and unbuilt works. Combined with Against Reason: Tony Smith, Architecture, and Other Modernisms, these two books devoted to architecture are part of the Tony Smith Catalogue Raisonné Project, which presents Smith’s complete oeuvre in sculpture and architecture, while positioning his transdisciplinary practice in dialogue with contemporary voices in art and architecture.

Smith often reflected in writing on art, architecture, literature, and culture, yet his writing was not published like many of his contemporaries. This book presents never-before-published writings by Smith. The texts complement architectural projects presented in the catalogue raisonné while serving as a core sample of the voluminous writing in the Tony Smith Archives yet to be studied by future researchers.
