Inhaltsangabe

This book offers the first comprehensive survey of the art of Richard Stankiewicz (1922-1983) and reassesses its place in the art of his time. Stankiewicz's welded sculpture of rusted iron and cast-off steel played an important role in the redefinition of art in New York during the 1950s. "Miracle in the Scrap Heap" offers a lively consideration of Stankiewicz's sculpture in relation to the aesthetic attitudes and critical concerns of post-World War II American art. It is richly illustrated with his own art and that of his Euro-American contemporaries and predecessors. It is must reading for collectors, scholars, and anyone wishing to enlarge their conception of a pivotal period in modern art and the unique achievement of a sculptor who can be classic, iconoclastic, and witty all at the same time. Emmie Donadio is associate director, Middlebury College Museum of Art, Middlebury, Vermont.
