Zusammenfassung: | A new look at the interrelationship of architecture and sculpture during one of the richest periods of American modern designAlloys looks at a unique period of synergy and exchange in the postwar United States, when sculpture profoundly shaped architecture, and vice versa. Leading architects such as Gordon Bunshaft and Eero Saarinen turned to sculptors including Harry Bertoia, Alexander Calder, Richard Lippold, and Isamu Noguchi to produce site-determined, large-scale sculptures tailored for their buildings' highly visible and well-traversed threshold spaces. The parameters of these spaces-atriums, lobbies, plazas, and entryways-led to various designs like sculptural walls, ceilings, and screens that not only embraced new industrial materials and processes, but also demonstrated art's ability to merge with lived architectural spaces.Marin Sullivan argues that these sculptural commissions represent an alternate history of midcentury American art. Rather than singular masterworks by lone geniuses, some of the era's most notable spaces-Philip Johnson's Four Seasons Restaurant in Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, Max Abramovitz's Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center, and Pietro Belluschi and Walter Gropius's Pan Am Building-would be diminished without the collaborative efforts of architects and artists. At the same time, the artistic creations within these spaces could not exist anywhere else. Sullivan shows that the principle of synergy provides an accurate framework to assess this pronounced relationship between sculpture and architecture. She also explores the afterlives of these postwar commissions in the decades since their construction.A fresh consideration of sculpture's relationship to architectural design and functionality following World War II, Alloys highlights the affinities between the two fields and the ways their connections remain with us today |

Sullivan Princeton, NJ Princeton University Press [2022] © 2022 1 Online-Ressource (272 pages) Illustrationen txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier A new look at the interrelationship of architecture and sculpture during one of the richest periods of American modern designAlloys looks at a unique period of synergy and exchange in the postwar United States, when sculpture profoundly shaped architecture, and vice versa. Leading architects such as Gordon Bunshaft and Eero Saarinen turned to sculptors including Harry Bertoia, Alexander Calder, Richard Lippold, and Isamu Noguchi to produce site-determined, large-scale sculptures tailored for their buildings' highly visible and well-traversed threshold spaces. The parameters of these spaces-atriums, lobbies, plazas, and entryways-led to various designs like sculptural walls, ceilings, and screens that not only embraced new industrial materials and processes, but also demonstrated art's ability to merge with lived architectural spaces.Marin Sullivan argues that these sculptural commissions represent an alternate history of midcentury American art. Rather than singular masterworks by lone geniuses, some of the era's most notable spaces-Philip Johnson's Four Seasons Restaurant in Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, Max Abramovitz's Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center, and Pietro Belluschi and Walter Gropius's Pan Am Building-would be diminished without the collaborative efforts of architects and artists. At the same time, the artistic creations within these spaces could not exist anywhere else. Sullivan shows that the principle of synergy provides an accurate framework to assess this pronounced relationship between sculpture and architecture. She also explores the afterlives of these postwar commissions in the decades since their construction.A fresh consideration of sculpture's relationship to architectural design and functionality following World War II, Alloys highlights the affinities between the two fields and the ways their connections remain with us today Calder, Alexander 1898-1976 (DE-588)118666592 gnd rswk-swf Bertoia, Harry 1915-1978 (DE-588)118851616 gnd rswk-swf Lippold, Richard 1915-2002 (DE-588)143159658 gnd rswk-swf Noguchi, Isamu 1904-1988 (DE-588)118835416 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1946-1975 gnd rswk-swf ART / Sculpture & Installation bisacsh Modernism (Art) United States Sculpture and architecture United States History 20th century Sculpture, American 20th century Site-specific sculpture United States 20th century Plastik (DE-588)4046277-8 gnd rswk-swf Innenraum (DE-588)4161787-3 gnd rswk-swf Architektur (DE-588)4002851-3 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Bertoia, Harry 1915-1978 (DE-588)118851616 p Calder, Alexander 1898-1976 (DE-588)118666592 p Lippold, Richard 1915-2002 (DE-588)143159658 p Noguchi, Isamu 1904-1988 (DE-588)118835416 p DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Plastik (DE-588)4046277-8 s Architektur (DE-588)4002851-3 s Innenraum (DE-588)4161787-3 s Geschichte 1946-1975 z https://doi.org/10.1515/9780691232461 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
