HENRY SHAWAH: GOLDSMITH & SCULPTOR (1555953212, $65.00) by Henry Shawah provides a set of vintage and modern black and white and (mostly) color photos in this survey of Shawah's childhood and development as a jewelry maker. Full-page presentations of his pieces accompany theme chapters and reflections on inspirations and family ties alike, making for a 'must' for any jewelry arts library. Irving Sandler's ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM AND THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: A REEVALUATION (9781555953119, $45.00) provides a fine new book offering the author's conclusions about the nature and experience of abstract expressionism in America. College-level collections familiar with the movement will find this provides a fine historical survey of post-World War II art impact and how paintings responded to global events of their times. Kenneth Snelson's FORCES MADE VISIBLE (9781555952433, $75.00) provides a fine oversized volume offering a taste of his sculpture: pieces often appearing in public places and composed of tubes and wires. His autobiography tracing his early influences and the progress of his sculptures makes for a photo essay tracking both his personal and artistic development: a fine survey that includes a DVD of his animations and a documentary following his life and art. Any art library will welcome this.
