Dario Robleto: Alloy of Love
Copublished by the Frye Art Museum and the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College
288 pages, 7" x 9", 200 color plates
$45 (hardcover)
Dario Robleto: Alloy of Love documents a ten-year retrospective of collages and sculptures by the San Antonio artist Dario Robleto, who is known for his astonishingly hand-crafted objects: works that reflect the artist’s intense investigation of such wide-ranging topics as science, music, popular culture, philosophy, war, and American history.
The fully illustrated catalogue, which accompanies the exhibition Dario Robleto: Alloy of Love (on view at the Frye Art Museum through September 1), includes essays by Elizabeth Dunbar, exhibition curator, Arthouse at the Jones Center, Austin, Tex.; Michael Duncan, art critic; Jennifer Michael Hecht, poet and historian; Robin Held, Frye Chief Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections; and an interview with the artist by Ian Berry, Tang Associate Director.
Dario Robleto: Alloy of Love is the first comprehensive publication of the artist’s work.

Ginnungagap:
Recent Work by Sigrid Sandström
44 pages, 7 .75” x 12.25”, 33 color plates, 2006
$24.95 (paperback)
Ginnungagap: Recent Work by Sigrid Sandström, includes 33 full-color prints of Sandstrom’s paintings, installations and videos, in addition to essays by Jaimey Hamilton, PHD, Lecturer in Contemporary Art at Massachusetts College of Art, and Robin Held, Frye Chief Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections.
Sandström’s art explores the various ways in which we claim land– linguistically, mythically, or physically – as well as the motivations for such claims (exploration, property, sense of self, destiny). The raw material for these explorations is the landscape of her home country, Sweden. Dramatic scale shifts and purposely awkward surface treatments create powerful images that questions how we understand the nature of Nature.
Born in Stockholm, Sandström received her MFA from Yale University in 2001. She lives in Red Hook, New York, where she teaches at Bard College. She is represented by Inman Gallery, Houston, and Galleri Gunnar Olsson, Stockholm. The Frye exhibition upon which the catalog is based is the first major museum showing of Sandström’s work.
