Book ID: 100012

This handsome, richly illustrated volume is the first book devoted to an in-depth investigation of the entirety of Irwins career, tracing the development of Irwins ambitions from his earliest canvases to his most recent light installations. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including the artists library and his published and unpublished writings, Matthew Simms surveys the full scope of Irwins creative output, the reception of his work, and its multiple aesthetic and historical contexts. In the resulting thorough yet accessible account, essential for scholars of post-war American art, conditional art emerges as a continual source of renewed aesthetic perception.
