Summary:

This catalogue represents a 2011 exhibition held at the Orlando Museum of Art, Florida. Over a 40-year period artist/writer Tony Robbin (b. 1943) has committed himself to drawing on his knowledge of math and physics to explore two- and three-dimensional representation of four-dimensional space. Thirty-eight of his extraordinarily patterned works are presented accompanied by essays by fellow artists (Joyce Kosloff, Robert Kushner), a mathematician, an art historian, and the artist himself. The book measures 9.5x9.5". Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
