Robert Grosvenor: 32 Pictures

Robert Grosvenor's photography presents itself as a manifest extension of his sculptural work. The 32 images in this book reveal an artist interested in the space between objects, as much as the objects themselves, and how form and texture can be combined in the natural world. "At times, no intervention is necessary for a deadpan humor to effortlessly assert itself, as when Grosvenor takes a picture of concrete steps which have been painted a light sky blue. But they have only been painted on the top, suggesting a carpet that has melted over the steps, a sense of slow motion in neat parallel to a pair of blue garden hoses that might as well be lines traced by the water flowing through them. We can't help but wonder if the world, more often than not, arranges itself to be seen."
