Long needed, the first full overview of American abstract sculptor Thad Mosley

A spread from 'Thaddeus Mosley.'
PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Hyperallergic
Julia Friedman
While [Mosley's] oeuvre has rightly been read as an array of improvisations on archetypal modernist forms, his body of work deserves to be further explored with an eye toward its complex symbolism.
Bookforum
Albert Mobilio
Wood lives,' writes poet Ed Roberson in one of the included essays. To be sure. And worked by Mosley’s dexterous hands, it also sings.
