Humanist in approach and populist in sensibility, di Suvero's sculpture is accessible, inviting, and inclusive. Praised in particular for his monumental assemblages incorporating steel and wood, di Suvero emerged as a superstar in the 1960s. He was the first living artist to show his sculpture at the Tuileries Gardens, Paris, and the first honored with three major exhibitions at Storm King Art Center. His distinctive, bold pieces can be found in museums and public collections all over the world, and he continues to be the subject of numerous exhibitions both in the United States and in Europe. <i>Mark di Suvero: Dreambook </i>is a celebration of his artistic oeuvre and of his long, distinguished career. <br /><br /><i>Copub: Offsite </i><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Di Suvero's steel geometries, with their powerful dynamism and at times calligraphic quality, seem to turn the sheer inflexibility of metal into malleable clay.--Jan Garden Castro, <i>Sculpture </i>magazine<br /><br /> Mark di Suvero is widely considered to be the greatest living sculptor working in welded metal.--Barbara Rose, author of <i>Monochromes </i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"di Suvero is in a class of his own."-- "American Style" (7/2/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"What makes Dreambook special is that it's so much more than it might have been."-- "January Magazine" (1/12/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Shows the daring, greatness, and individuality of di Suvero's monumental work alongside the passions, poetry, and deep thoughts that drive him."--Jan Garden Castro "Sculpture Magazine" (12/1/2008 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mark di Suvero </b>received both the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award from the International Sculpture Center and the Heinz Award for the Arts and Humanities. <b>François Barré </b>has held top cultural positions in France.
