Karen LaMonte Book

LaMonte's highly charged works embody a challenge to historic conceptions of the female nude. Integrated into a comprehensive monograph are 250 images of her acclaimed series--from glass, ceramic, bronze, and rusted iron-draped female figures to timely explorations in climatology and biomimetics. In this definitive look at a vital contemporary artist, essays by award-winning authors frame LaMonte's work in the context of female identity, music, art history, and science, placing her alongside other contemporary sculptors who have adopted the human body as a vehicle for expressing the human condition.

Featuring essays by Arthur Danto, Brett Littman, Laura Addison, Steven A. Nash, and Lucy R. Lippard
