Description
Fred Sandback (1943-2003), a prominent Minimalist artist, and the Pritzker Prize winning architect Luis Barragn (1902-1988) shared an interest in the properties of light and color, which they considered central to their practices.In 2016 sculptures by the artist were temporarily installed in the architect's Casa Luis Barragn, Casa Antonio Glvez, Cuadra San Cristbal, and Casa Gilardi. The resulting interplay was documented in remarkable photographs and is presented for the first time in this publication with essays by Barragan Foundation Director Federica Zanco and curator Daniel Garza Usabiaga, as well as a conversation between architect Roger Duffy, artist Amavong Panya, curator Lilian Tone, and art historian Edward Vazquez.
Reviews
The Properties of Light is an illustrated portrait of the meeting of two visionary spirits, whose absence defines their presence and makes it possible to see the way they mutually contrast and complement each other.--Tora Baker "Creative Boom"
