Passages in Modern Sculpture
Rosalind E. Krauss

The MIT Press, 1981

An impressive achievement
This is Krauss's first book, and the one I like best. Her history of modern sculpture from Rodin to Robert Smithson is grounded in a sophisticated theoretical perspective, but it's not collapsing under the weight of theory like many later Krauss's texts. Her ...

Rosalind E. Krauss

Thames & Hudson, 2000

Exploring the nature of the aesthetic medium has been at the heart of much of modern art.
