Documenting the extraordinary breadth of architectural production by American artist Tony Smith (1912 1980), this comprehensive book reveals the depth and complexity of Smith s work in architecture. The Tony Smith Architecture Catalogue Raisonne Volume 2 presents the full extent of identified production in architecture by Tony Smith. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced, the catalogue raisonne spans Smith s influential intellectual and creative pursuits in the field. It is the first volume to offer a complete record of Smith s architectural output and is the most comprehensive documentation to date of Smith s built and unbuilt works. Combined with Against Reason: Tony Smith, Architecture, and Other Modernisms, these two books devoted to architecture are part of the Tony Smith Catalogue Raisonne Project, which presents Smith s complete oeuvre in sculpture and architecture, while positioning his transdisciplinary practice in dialogue with contemporary voices in art and architecture. Smith often reflected in writing on art, architecture, literature, and culture, yet his writing was not published like many of his contemporaries. This book presents never-before-published writings by Smith. The texts complement architectural projects presented in the catalogue raisonne while serving as a core sample of the voluminous writing in the Tony Smith Archives yet to be studied by future researchers.
James Voorhies is a curator and historian of modern and contemporary art based in New York. He is the author of Postsensual Aesthetics and Beyond Objecthood: The Exhibition as a Critical Form since 1968 (both MIT Press) and has taught at Bennington College and Harvard University. Sarah Auld has been the director of the Tony Smith Estate since 1990. Her responsibilities include the oversight of the artist s archive, which holds over 2000 drawings and sketches as well as maquettes for sculptures, architectural models, and Smith s writings and correspondence.
