Approaching architectural space and scale with the formal inventiveness and speed common to gestural abstract painting, Stockholder took the art world by storm in the late 1980s. The first half of the catalog chronicles Stockholder's installations from 1983-1991 in 35 beautiful color plates.

Published in conjunction with the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam; text in Dutch and English
