Jene Highstein: Lines in Space

By (author) Laura Mattioli Rossi






| book description |

This volume provides a critical re-evaluation of Pipe Pieces , a group of unified works from the 1970s by renowned artist Jene Highstein. Attentively illustrated, this volume provides readers with an historical re-reading and a critical re-evaluation of a unified group of works, entitled Pipe Pieces , created by Jene Highstein in the early 1970s. The works include collages, drawings, sculptures, and installations that draw on aspects of American minimalist vocabulary, land art, and Italian Renaissance theories on perspective and philosophy. The fundamental importance of Pipe Pieces in the modern artistic landscape stems from the expressive force of the materials and the direct relationship between the work and the viewer, demonstrating the power of the environment - be it natural or architectural - upon artistic perception.
