Title: SOTO : Paris and Beyond, 1950-1970
Author: Soto, Jesus
Price: Not Available
ISBN: 9780934349161
Description: New York: Grey Art Gallery, New York University, 2012. 28cm., hardcover, 144pp., 74 color, 22 b&w illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary : Paris and Beyond, 1950-1970 accompanies the first large-scale exhibition dedicated to Jesús Soto to be held at a New York museum in more than 35 years. It highlights this major Venezuelan artist's early career, following his relocation from Caracas to Paris in 1950, and offers a rare opportunity to trace Soto's visionary trajectory and his influence upon, and exchanges with, other members of the avant garde. Soto's achievements in the field of interactive art established his reputation as both an international exponent of kinetic art and one of the most influential Latin American artists of the twentieth century. This fully illustrated catalogue includes essays by Estrellita B. Brodsky and art historian Sarah K. Rich. Brodsky's essay examines Soto's techniques, materials and theoretical concerns, while situating him in the context of postwar Paris. Rich shows how Soto's works act upon the viewer's perceptions.
