'Elyn Zimmerman: Sculpture' spans four decades of Zimmerman's career as an artist. It provides an in-depth examination of her public and private commissions, which can be found across three continents. Zimmerman began her career as an enigmatic and lonely figure: a painter and photographer who loved nothing better than to shut her studio door and work in isolation. But in retrospect another medium became Zimmerman's passion, one that would draw her out into the landscape to create large-scale sculptures and site-specific projects, inspired by the archaeological sites she visited in the 1970s. Zimmerman is among the small number of a distinguished group of artists and landscape architects who create art for both private and public spaces. Among her public commissions are a memorial fountain for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, New York; the sculpture garden at the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama; a fountain and seating area for the ATn headquarters in Basking Ridge, NJ; the plaza design for the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, DC; a project for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Park and most recently, a park in Tribeca, New York City. Extensively illustrated, this monograph includes three essays, an interview with the artist, exhibition history, artist chronology, and bibliography. SELLING POINTS: ?
