"The starting point of this publication-and its eponymous exhibition held in Zurich in Spring 2017-is the conceptual encounter between English Pop art artist Richard Hamilton (1922-2011) and Swiss historian and critic of architecture Sigfried Giedion (1888-1968), famous for his landmark book Space, Time & Architecture, an influential history of modern architecture published in 1941. In 1949 Richard Hamilton-then a member of the London-based Independent Group-realized the "Reaper" print series as a reaction to Giedion's 1948 book "Mechanization Takes Command" in which he describes the mechanization of everyday life. Reproducing Hamilton's complete "Reaper" series juxtaposed with selected examples of illustrations created by Giedion alongside many related illustrations, this publication brings together seven essays by renowned international scholars, all of whom question the relationships between visual arts, technology, science, and architecture."--WorldCat.
