More Description

A street corner in Vienna, Machupicchu in the Andes, the Arava Desert, a New Jersey sculpture park, the Southbank of the Yarra, and Californian and Mornington Peninsula vineyards - just a few locations that offer testimony to Andrew Rogers' sculptural activity over the past decades. This lavishly illustrated publication authored by Ken Scarlett, one of Australia's leading sculpture critics, surveys the entire range and production of Rogers' bronze sculptures and monumental stone geoglyphs. Additional contributions from writers including Edmund Capon, Igor Aronov, Idit Porat, Edmund P. Pillsbury, Kathryn Walt Hall and Peter Marboe, and brief quotations from several critics, extend the commentary on key aspects of Rogers' practice - such as the organic principles on which most of his sculptural forms are based and the significance of his stone-built desert geoglyphs. The book is also a tribute to the many colleagues, with their vast range of skills, who have assisted in so many ways with the production, photography and installation of the sculptures. Others have generously supported their creation and placement. For this reason the book contains numerous photographs of foundry and installation activities and of some of the people who have contributed to Rogers' sculptural journey.
