Richard Nonas

Richard Nonas was one of the American artists which were working in the 1970s to come up with something new to pit against established Minimalist art. Part of this group were not only sculptors but also musicians and dancers. They were interested in the performative aspect of art, the emotional experience and the energetic charge of the space. Nonas tirelessly set out from his New York studio to build his sculptures in galleries and museums in the USA and in Europe, even at remote places, because he was strongly interested in placing his work in new contexts. This first monograph on Richard Nonas contains a chronological survey of his work, illustrated with photographs of the sculptures shot by Nonas himself.
