Forbidden Birth

Anthony Caro

"Anthony Caro holds a particular eminence as the artist who in recent years has most significantly extended the tradition of constructed sculpture established by Picasso on the eve of World War I. Caro was the first to create large sculptures that spread out along the ground, independent of base or pedestal. In creating these pieces he broke with the 'totemic' conventions of Western sculpture (still adhered to by Picasso and David Smith) in which the work rises to confront the viewer. These consequences were of major import. As William Rubin points out, 'The prevailing horizontality of Caro's sculpture makes available to him configurations hitherto unknown in sculpture. The interrelationships of the 'ground plan' and the vertical structures that rise from it--the rhyming, the analogies, even the puns of this dialogue--open a vast range of choices.' In effect, Caro's approached has enabled him 'to do something utterly new--to work, for the first time modern sculpture, in a non-pictorial, integrally three-dimensional manner.' This internationally esteemed British artist is now the subject of a comprehensive survey that reviews his early career and penetratingly analyzes his mature work, presenting the entire oeuvre to date against the historical background of twentieth-century sculpture. During the writing of this study the author had the benefit of repeated discussions with the artist. The book is not only a masterly introduction to Caro's work, but also a valuable scholarly tool, complete with chronology, bibliography, list of exhibitions, and extensive notes. The abundant illustrations make this volume the most inclusive pictorial record published on Caro's achievement." -- Back cover

Matthew Armstrong

William S. Paley, founder of CBS, Inc., and a towering figure in the modern entertainment, communication and news-dissemination industries, was also an enthusiastic collector of twentieth-century art and a committed supporter of The Museum of Modern Art. This volume presents his extraordinary personal collection of eighty-four paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings by some of the most important figures of modern art, including Paul Cézanne, André Derain, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, bequeathed to the Museum in one of the most significant transfers of a private collection to a public institution in recent history. Paley embraced modernism during a period when most collectors sought works by Old Masters, and he built his collection based on personal taste with little regard for art-world prestige. Aside from certain loans made to enhance exhibitions at MoMA, his collection rarely left the walls of his home and office and was seldom seem by the public until it was left to the William S. Paley Foundation for donation to the Museum. This richly illustrated volume, originally published in 1992 to accompany a series of traveling exhibitions organized by MoMA to bring this outstanding collection to venues around North America, presents each work on a full page accompanied by commentary from William Rubin, Director Emeritus of the Department of Painting and Sculpture, and Matthew Armstrong, former Curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture.
