Metal sculptures and some paintings by Barrett (b. 1934) are presented in full-page color plates. The visual display is supported by thoughtfully written commentary and biographical information
prepared by author Palmedo, who admired the artist's work for many years before seeking him out for collaboration on this book. Completing the text are a chronology; listings of awards,
collections, and exhibitions (since 1964); and a bibliography relevant to sculpture in general and to Bill Barrett's work in particular. The format is oversize: 11.5x11.5. Annotation 穢2004 Book
