Eccentric Objects: Rethinking Sculpture in 1960s America by Jo Applin, published by Yale University Press. This scholarly volume examines the radical transformation of sculpture during the 1960s in the United States, a period when artists began experimenting with unconventional materials, forms, and conceptual approaches. The book explores the influential exhibition Eccentric Abstraction and the broader shift toward process-based and experimental sculpture that challenged traditional definitions of the medium. Featuring detailed analysis and illustrated examples, the publication provides valuable insight into the development of postwar American art and the artists who helped redefine sculptural practice.
