The Artist Book Foundation is gratified to announce the publication of this lavishly illustrated monograph on an esteemed and prolific contemporary artist.
Over five decades John Van Alstine's abstract sculptures have revealed the complex synergy between natural forces and man-made elements. His works combine elements of mythology, celestial navigation, human figures and found objects, while using motion, balance, and inertia to incorporate the eternal forces of gravity, tension, and erosion.
