New York: Abbeville Press, 1981. Hardcover. Abstract Expressionist sculptor and painter Herbert Ferber (1906 - 1991) is best remembered for his steel sculptures. "The lavishly illustrated text by art historian and critic E.C. Goossen, a long-time colleague and friend of Ferber's, outlines the major developments in the artist's sculpture and painting. His analysis of sevearl key works is illuminated by reproductions of Ferber's sketches and models for the pieces. In supplementary essay - by turns witty, cantankerous, and impassioned - Ferber himself recalls the exciting, innovative art world of the '40s and '50s, and provocatively contrasts it to the commercialized milieu of today" (dust jacket).
