From the New York experimentation of the early seventies to one of the most prestigious contemporary
collections in the world, the path of an American sculptor trained between London and
New York.
This book, published in close collaboration between the artist and the editor, offers a historical rereading and critical revaluation
of a unified group of works, entitled Pipe Pieces, created by Jene Highstein (born in Baltimore in 1942) in the early
1970s: it includes collages, drawings, and sculptures/installations issuing from the encounter between the American minimalist
vocabulary, land art, and Italian Renaissance theories on perspective and philosophy.
The fundamental facets of the Pipe Pieces are the importance attributed to the expressive force of given materials and the
direct relationship between the work and the viewer: invariably powerful, these works establish themselves in a specifically
chosen 1:1 relationship with the human body; careful attention is paid to the environmentbe it natural or architectural
which is ultimately redesigned by an approach hinged upon perception and mathematics.
The creation of this unique book was enriched by the fact that Highstein made all his extant documentation available, in
addition to his personal memories and experiencesincluding the extraordinary period he spent at the experimental artists
space at 112 Greene St.
