Chillida

This is the first book published in English on Basque sculptor Chillida, whose forceful, rhythmic work has been internationally acclaimed. Wind Combs, his most famous piece, is a monument to the sea in San Sebastian which consists of three enormous pincer-like constructions through which the ocean rushes; this compelling structure enjoys the constant admiration and interaction of visitors. Here, museum director James Johnson Sweeney and critic Peter Selz (Art in Our Time) contribute perceptive studies of Chillida's work in a beautifully illustrated volume.
