The Pliable Plane: The Wall as Surface in Sculpture and Architecture, 1945–75

by

This book explores the concept of the wall as a surface in sculpture and architecture from 1945 to 1975. It examines how artists and architects reimagined the wall, transforming it from a mere boundary into a pliable plane that interacts with space and viewer. The book includes essays and illustrations that delve into the works of key figures who challenged traditional notions of space and form.
