| Hudson Hills Press of New York City has published a book about Raimondi's work with an introduction by Sam Hunter and essay by William Corbett. "John Raimondi is arguably the most successful creator, anywhere, of public sculpture on a monumental scale, with works in twenty-seven states and several European countries. He is a visionary and pioneer in the use of color and advanced alloys in sculpture; a maverick who has always operated outside the art establishment. His sculpture ranges from pure abstraction to works that capture the essence of natural forms, birds and animals." "This magnificent book brings together Raimondi's finest sculpture in every scale, including both the public monuments and the works created for more intimate indoor and garden settings, along with a selection of his virtuoso drawings. William Corbett provides a detailed history of Raimondi's life, career and important commissions, while Sam Hunter presents a formal analysis of some of Raimondi's pieces and positions him and his work in the context of recent art history." The 136-page book contains 96 colorplates and 24 black & white illustrations. |
