STRONG-CUEVAS SCULPTURE
Premonitions in Retrospect

by Strong-Cuevas (Author)

Hardcover Book – Illustrated, October 27, 2015

From the publisher:

This superbly produced retrospective spans the artist’s work from early career to most recent pieces. Strong-Cuevas carves stone as well as models in wax sculpture that is then cast in bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum. Many pieces involve the human head; their planes and shapes resonate back to Egyptian and Mayan cultures.

“Strong-Cuevas is a master of mass and monumentality (more particularly, the monumental scale, whatever the size of the work). Both are made more emphatic through the dramatic use of voids, the interplay of straight and curved lines as well as the geometric and organic, and, more broadly, an intricately displaced geometry.”
–Donald Kuspit, World Sculpture News, summer 2003

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born in Paris, Strong-Cuevas lived and worked in New York from the 1960s until her death in 2023. She studied under John Hovannes at the Art Students League of New York and worked on projects with Toto Meylan. Two books have been published by Abrams on the work of Strong-Cuevas, Strong-Cuevas Drawings: Ideas on Paper (2018) and Strong-Cuevas Sculpture: Premonitions in Retrospect (2015). A third book, Strong-Cuevas Heads, was released in 2020 and documents the process of creating the artist's large-scale sculpture series, Heads I-V.
