Complementing a larger more comprehensive volume on Benton (b. 1931), this work focuses on a 30-year span of his contributions to the kinetic art movement. Distinct from Alexander Calder and
Jean Tinguely in this realm, he emphasized the dimensions of color in his battery-powered constructions of circles, triangles, and parallelograms. This oversize volume (10x12") presents 191
color plates and 55 in b&w, along with three essays (by art writers Peter Selz, Diane Ghirardo, and Collette Chattopadhyay), a chronology, bibliography, and listing of collections,
commissions, and material in archives. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
