David Smith (1906-1965), proche des expressionnistes abstraits, a voulu faire de ses sculptures une "écriture transparente". Il a mené de front innovations techniques, recherches plastiques et une réflexion sur la perception des sculptures. En 2000, son Primo Piano (1962) a pris place dans le parc de sculptures du Jardin des Tuileries à Paris. En 2006, le Centre Pompidou lui a consacré une rétrospective. Cet ouvrage réunit des textes, pour la plupart inédits en français, de David Smith. Il propose des écrits autobiographiques, où l'artiste retrace sa formation, présente son travail et évoque en témoin privilégié l'évolution du monde de l'art. Il rassemble également conférences, interventions et articles rédigés pour des revues, ainsi que 3 importants entretiens. Ce recueil de textes d'un artiste majeur du XXe siècle éclaire une démarche originale et constitue un document essentiel de l'histoire de l'art, riche en informations sur la pratique même de la sculpture.

Embracing factory methods of construction, building on the legacy of cubism, and turning his back on European carving and casting traditions, David Smith (1906-1965) transformed postwar sculpture. His body of work, contemporary with the New York School in painting, and his pioneering placement of sculptures in a natural setting are foundational for present-day sculpture and installation art. This three-volume boxed set comprehensively details the entirety of Smith's sculptural oeuvre. It is now the definitive catalogue raisonne and supplants the one constructed by Rosalind E. Krauss in 1977. With Christopher Lyon as Editor and Project Manager and Susan J. Cooke as Research Editor, the volumes also contain a Foreword by Rebecca and Candida Smith, essays by Michael Brenson, Sarah Hamill, Marc-Christian Roussel, Christopher Lyon, and a chronology by Tracee Ng. Throughout the volumes, reproductions of documents and images, including many photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches by the artist, offer fresh insights into Smith's methods and creative thought. Handsomely designed and generously illustrated with fine color reproductions, this catalogue raisonne is both a sumptuous object and an essential scholarly resource.
