内容简介
This progressive book object combines two
volumes and covers the sweep and depth of Lewis Baltz's influential
oeuvre. Rule Without Exception is a re-issue of Baltz's
award-winning mid-career retrospective book which accompanied a
travelling exhibition of the same name in 1991. The book surveys
Baltz's work from "The Prototype Works" of 1967 through to "Sites
of Technology" of 1991, showing the range of his images of
industrialised landscapes and technological sites. Each section of
the book is accompanied by installation views as well as texts by
distinguished writers, some newly commissioned for this edition.
Only Exceptions is a new book chronicling Baltz's work - now
usually site-generated commissioned works - from 1992 to the
present and is published on the occasion of an exhibition organized
by the Kunstmuseum, Bonn. Only Exceptions includes Baltz's work in
California, Leipzig's "Black Triangle", Reggio Emilia, Groningen,
Rome, Venice, and two projects with Jean Nouvel in France and
Italy.
