Joel Perlman. A Sculptor's Journey (en Inglés) - Philip F. Palmedo;Charles A. Riley II

A revised edition of the standard monograph on renowned American sculptor Joel Perlman, updated to include the latest two decades of his life and work.

This abundantly illustrated volume celebrates the art of Joel Perlman (b. 1943), who has carried forward the great tradition of metal sculpture founded by Pablo Picasso and Julio González and fostered by David Smith and Anthony Caro. Author Philip F. Palmedo, a noted biographer of sculptors, traces the evolution of Perlman’s career, from his early days teaching at Bennington College alongside Kenneth Noland and Jules Olitski, to his participation in SoHo’s vibrant 1970s art scene, to his success as an established artist, showing at the André Emmerich gallery and seeing his pieces acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney, the Hirshhorn, and many others. 

The revised edition of A Sculptor’s Journey has been expanded to included a generous selection of Perlman’s lyrical works of the last two decades. A text by Charles A. Riley II, curator and cultural historian, explores the themes and development of Perlman’s recent sculpture, which ranges in scale from the intimate to the monumental. This volume will be an essential addition to any library of American art.
