This publication is the first major monograph on MacArthur ''Genius Grant'' recipient Josiah McElheny. A unique figure among artists of his generation, McElheny has created an extraordinary body of work exploring the relationship between art, history, and narrative. Known for his room-size installations of glass sculptures, the artists' work is as rich visually as it is conceptually. With contributions by writers and scholars including curator and writer Louise Neri, art critic Dave Hickey, curator Helen Molesworth, and cosmologist David Weinberg.
