They also discuss sources of inspiration--from Donatello and Brancusi to Japanese gardens and Machu Picchu--revealing a history of sculpture across time and culture through the eyes of one of the medium's most brilliant figures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Introduced with an insightful preface by Foster, this probing dialogue is beautifully illustrated with duotone images that bring to life both Serra's work and his key commitments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Serra, Hal Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300235968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300235968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Serra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946408083711,"sku":"9780300235968","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5281772c-b0aa-4328-ab42-f343b52aedc6.jpg?v=1681512977","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversations-about-sculpture-richard-serra-9780300235968","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
