Lynn Chadwick: the Collection at Lypiatt Park by Judith Collins (Book)

About the Item

Situated on the Brow of a commanding hill, Lypiatt Park, Gloucestershire, the historic manor house and grounds purchased by Lynn Chadwick in 1958, has had a distinguished history. During its long life, it has seen periods of great activity and long periods of neglect. The setting is dramatic, and geographic formations indicate that it may have been inhabited as early as prehistoric times. Chadwick made this enchanted site both his home and his studio, and it served as a stimulating backdrop for his work. He lovingly restored the house and garden. and in 1986 he bought the surrounding parkland. In the last few years of his life he dreamed of opening the grounds to the public as a sculpture park, and began to site some of his large sculptures along the grassy banks of Toadsmoor Valley. Lynn Chadwick: The collection at Lypiatt Park is an exquisite exploration of those sculptures Chadwick housed iin the gothic castle he called home until his death at the age of 88 in 2003. David Finn's sensitive and probing details photographs uncover the intricacies of these powerful and compelling sculptures. Judith Collin's erudite text gives historic context to the estate and the sculptor, and Rungwe Kingdon's moving words, delivered at the sculptor's funeral, give an intimate view of the man. 299 pages. 2320 grams.

Lynn Goldsmith. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. Signed, Limited Ed Book
By Lynn Goldsmith, TASCHEN
Located in Los Angeles, CA
“By the end of Darkness, I had found my adult voice.” In 1977, dismissed by the press as a one-hit wonder, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band entered the studio to record the album that transformed a “kid from New Jersey” into America’s poet laureate of life’s underdogs. The tour that followed would come to be regarded as one of the most legendary in rock ‘n’ roll history, propelled by the nervous intensity of a group determined to prove itself. Present throughout the recording, release, and tour of Darkness on the Edge of Town, Lynn Goldsmith tracks these memorable steps in Springsteen’s journey to becoming an American icon. With illuminating forewords from both artists, the book gathers hundreds of photographs—classic, rare, and previously unseen—that bring to life a star at his hungriest. In Springsteen’s words, “These photos remain a record of a time when I truly played for my life, night after night.” It was a standard matched by the E Street Band, seen here in its historic lineup of Roy Bittan, Clarence Clemons, Danny Federici, Garry Tallent, Steven Van...
