"John Raimondi is arguably the most successful creator anywhere of public sculpture on a monumental scale, with works in twenty-seven states and several European countries. His sculpture ranges from pure abstraction to works that capture the essence of natural forms, birds and animals." "This book brings together Raimondi's finest sculpture in every scale, including both the public monuments and the works created for more intimate indoor and garden settings, along with a selection of his virtuoso drawings. William Corbett provides a detailed history of Raimondi's life, career, and important commissions, while Sam Hunter presents a formal analysis of some of Raimondi's major pieces and positions him and his work in the context of recent art history."--Jacket.
