A groundbreaking new work of scholarship, this comprehensive three-volume boxed set presents a definitive catalogue raisonné of the sculptural oeuvre of the renowned American artist David Smith (1906-1965). Building upon the legacy of cubism and departing from European carving and casting traditions, Smith revolutionized postwar sculpture. His influential body of work, contemporaneous with the New York School in painting, and his pioneering approach to placing sculptures in natural settings laid the foundation for modern sculpture and installation art.

Edited by Christopher Lyon and with a foreword by Rebecca and Candida Smith, the volumes feature essays by Michael Brenson, Sarah Hamill, Marc-Christian Roussel, and Christopher Lyon, as well as a chronology by Tracee Ng. Reproductions of documents, images, and photographs, including numerous photographs, paintings, drawings, and sketches by the artist, provide valuable insights into Smith's methods and creative thought.

Beautifully designed and illustrated with fine color reproductions, this catalogue raisonné is not only a visually stunning object but also an essential scholarly resource. It is distributed for the Estate of David Smith.
