2017166931Stanford: Stanford University Press 2017. Hardcover. New in shrinkwrap. Color-illustrated boards with black lettering. xxvii 323 pp. Color illustrations. Portraits. "The exploration of the human figure has been the pursuit of artists for millennia. Manuel Neri b. 1930 a California native and former student of Richard Diebenkorn and Nathan Oliveira has spent a lifetime accentuating the gesture surface and materiality of the figure. He renders his work in several different mediums that include plaster marble bronze and paper. This exhibition drawn from and celebrating gifts donated to the museum by The Manuel Neri Trust provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his quest to define the figure on his own terms. Manuel Neri is known for his prolonged artistic engagement with the figure in a variety of materials starting with plaster in the late 1950s and moving into bronze and marble. The seven sculptures in the outdoor installation reference Neri's origins with plaster and his expressionistic manipulation of the medium. By casting plaster in bronze tactile surfaces are preserved and enhanced." -First Search. Stanford University Press hardcover books
2006104913000001New York and Manchester: Hudson Hills Press 2006. Hardbound. VG/VG. Aqua cloth with silver lettering aqua and slate gray illustrated dust jacket xvii 195 pp. 240 color plates. "This striking publication focuses on relief sculptures and related drawings by Manuel Neri. The extensive body of work is clearly grounded in a long sculptural tradition that stretches back through the Renaissance and Medieval sculpture to ancient architectural sites and underscores Neri's significance as a sculptor of international note whose works in plaster ceramic bronze and stone have merited him the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Sculpture Center. Neri has created figurative relief sculpture over a period of twenty-five years. His concern with the dynamic nature of the architectural or spatial environment has developed his keen understanding of its potency as a setting for the figure. His pieces possess incredibly rich and evocative surfaces and his ability to depict the figural form in various media with equal mastery and sensitivity is unrivaled. This publication documents not only reliefs but also more than fifty years of Neri's engagement with the partial figure."--Publisher's website. Hudson Hills Press hardcover books
