Summary:

For nearly forty years, John Van Alstine has created abstract sculptures forged from steel and stone. In 'John Van Alstine: Sculpture, 1971-2018', three notable essayists explore the sculptor's abstract landscapes that reveal the complex synergy between natural forces and man-made elements.0In an essay on his drawings, Van Alstine details the critical role they play in the initiation and planning of his projects, offering the reader a firsthand perspective on the artist's creative process. 0Van Alstine's works have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions and are found in the permanent collections of the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art, and the Phillips Collection, to name but a few. His works are also found in numerous public and private collections.00Exhibition: The Artist Book Foundation, New York, USA (05.09.2019 - 25.01.2020).
