Book Review
Going Public
Public art has undergone epochal shifts over the past half century, as Joyce Pomeroy Schwartz tells (and shows) us in The Private Eye in Public Art. A memoir and informative survey (but not a history, she says), the book demonstrates that she was in the thick of things from the 1970s onward.
Uncovering the Tracks
Inside the Spiral: The Passions of Robert Smithson by Suzaan Boettger More than 10 years in the making, Suzaan Boettger’s biography of Robert Smithson has something for everyone—artists, art historians, art critics, psychiatrists, and art collectors.
The Hinge Between Time and Space
Antony Gormley and Martin Gayford, Shaping the World: Sculpture from Prehistory to Now (Thames & Hudson, $60) The full title of this weighty book might lead readers to expect something like a conventional history lesson, a chronological approach to sculpture’s development across time and civilizations.
