Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

"Heavens Above" features the recent work of Incisive Letterwork - the inspirational professional partnership of Brenda Berman and Annet Stirling, leading practitioners of the art of lettercarving. Incisive Letterwork has fulfilled commissions for original hand-carved lettering on stone surfaces such as portals and plaques for major public institutions, including the Kunsthalle, Hamburg and the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and Royal Opera House, London. Individually and as partners, Berman and Stirling create new work of their own. "Heavens Above" accompanies a new touring exhibition of their work. In this intriguing book, designed by Ron Costley, Berman and Stirling reflect on the context, the aesthetic and the practice of their work through detailed descriptions of some of their most important public and personal projects. The text contains contributions from Charles Saumarez-Smith, Director of the National Gallery, David Whiting, curator and critic, Gerald Cinamon, design historian and Trev Haysom, Purbeck quarry-owner.
