From Idea to Matter contains full color images of the artists' work, an introduction by Albee, an insightful conversation between Albee and Harry Rand, art historian from the Smithsonian Institution, and an in-depth discussion of the artists' work by Rand.
Edward Albee has been visiting museums, art galleries, art studios, and collecting art for the past 40 years, developing a strong personal visual opinion and aesthetic. His approach to the curatorial process can be compared to the artists' dedication to their sculpture, and is equally sure and confident.
