EDUARDO COSTA
VOLUMETRIC PAINTINGS: THE GEOMETRIC WORKS

Essay by Alexander Alberro,
Interview by John Perreault,
Chronology, bibliography, 64 pages,
50 color and b&w photographs

"… All are undone, broken apart, and reformulated in such a way that the
four continents are fused and equally present in Costa's volumetric abstract
paintings. In the end, this is a most striking and significant aspect of Costa's
new series, for it at once melds not only the traditions of different regions of
the globe but also the past and the new and as yet completely uncharted cultural
possibilities of what will certainly be an unprecedentedly global twenty-first century."

THE STONE AND THE THREAD: ANDEAN ROOTS OF ABSTRACT ART

César Paternosto
272 pgs.
University of Texas Press, hardcover, 172 photographs and illustrations

Challenging the notion that abstraction is a development of the modern West,

analysis of ancient Andean art - textiles, pottery, stone sculpture, and the famous
lines in the Nazca desert - into one coherent whole...
