{"product_id":"9783775737937","title":"Charles Ray : Sculpture 1997-2014","description":"\u003cp\u003eCharles Ray (born 1953) is one of America’s most outstanding contemporary sculptors. Like Jeff Koons and Katharina Fritsch, he has developed a new kind of plastic figuration, as can be seen in his white-painted steel sculpture “Boy with Frog” (2009), whose recent installation on the Punta della Dogana in Venice drew a great deal of critical and popular attention. Despite its apparent naturalism, Ray’s oversized figure of a nude boy frolicking animatedly, even rabidly, with the animal world, verges upon the classical. “Horse and Rider,” a self-portrait of the artist on horseback (2014), likewise revives the traditional images of the horseback rider and the hero of the American West, but in a way that is decidedly anti-heroic. This volume offers a comprehensive monograph on Ray’s sculptural works of recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D.A.P.\/Distributed Art Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052240748784,"sku":"9783775737937","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783775737937_p0.jpg?v=1763683662","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783775737937","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
