Book Description
Our fascination with art created from found objects continues to grow-as humanity's domination of nature via the objects it creates increases, bringing an increasing submission to the technologies we use, and as the borders between what does and does not constitute a work of art continue to be scaled. Donald Lipski initially received critical attention for his large-scale installations made from small found and altered objects, such as woven match books, folded dollar bills, and safety pins wrapped with rubber bands or tape. Donald Lipski: A Brief History of Twine documents the first comprehensive survey of his witty and dynamic sculptures and large-scale installations.
