Summary:

Sculpture and Photography: Envisioning the Third Dimension examines the complex ways that sculpture and photography have intersected in historical, aesthetic, and theoretical terms. This volume explores the important role that images of sculpture have played in the history of photography, as well as considers the impact that photography has had on the creation and interpretation of sculpture.
The chapters address a wide range of topics, including the use of photography by Rodin, Brancusi, David Smith, and various Minimalist sculptors; the manipulation of photographs of sculpture for aesthetic and political purposes; the relationship of sculpture, photography, and gender in the late nineteenth century, as well as in the work of Hesse and Mapplethorpe; and the redefinition of the boundaries between sculpture and photography by artists such as Joseph Beuys and Jeff Wall. Using a variety of approaches, this volume also considers photography more generally as a means of representing three-dimensional works of art.
