An all-in-compassing book devoted to the leading Californian contemporary artist. Brad Howe, born in 1959 in Riverside, California, started his career in Brazil, after studying history in Sao Paolo. Recognized as a leading contemporary Californian artist and sculptor, Howe is best known for his large-scale public and private works employing rigid materials, stainless steel, and aluminum, animated by his vibrant colors and challenging structural solutions. This expansive volume follows key themes that Brad Howe consistently explored throughout his career, through an imagery which plays off juxtapositions, contradictions, and coincidences.
