A retrospective monograph that surveys the career of Tony DeLap, the leading artist of Southern Californian Minimalism. DeLap has sought to express the purity of idea and form through his lifelong exploration of the realm between painting and sculpture. With meticulous construction, manipulation of form and intellectual rigour, he has created objects of great clarity and beauty, that inhabit the shadow precinct of perfection. This volume features the artist's drawings, monochromatic paintings, and monolithic sculptures, combining magic and modernism, and challenging our conceptions of abstraction and illusion. There are two essays, colour plates of DeLap's most significant works, photographs of his public art commissions, a biographical outline, and a bibliography.
