Gorgeous, substantial, slipcased 384-page 'Agnes Denes: Absolutes and Intermediates' is NEW from The Shed

"Studies of Time—Explorations of Time Aspects" (1970) is reproduced from Agnes Denes: Absolutes and Intermediates, the most substantial and comprehensive monograph ever published on the artist. "For me art must be constant probe," Denis is quoted, "a desire to locate the center of things—the true inner core of inherent but not yet understood or exposed meaning to be split open for exposure and analyses—to puncture the heart of matter and see what oozes out, and if nothing does still not assume that it was hollow or empty, for nothing is truly empty; even the silent universe is alive with hidden creativity. To do art is to question—creativity is obsessive and so is our desire to know our importance or insignificance in the universe."
