Luis Barragán/Fred Sandback: The Properties of Light In 2016 sculptures by Fred Sandback were temporarily installed in the architect's Casa Luis Barragán, Casa Antonio Gálvez, Cuadra San Cristóbal, and Casa Gilardi. The resulting interplay was documented in remarkable photographs and is presented in this publication with essays by Barragan Foundation Director Federica Zanco and curator Daniel Garza Usabiaga, as well as a conversation between architect Roger Duffy, artist Amavong Panya, curator Lilian Tone, and art historian Edward Vazquez.

Aspects : Fred Sandback's Sculpture by Edward A. Vazquez This book explores the full range of Fred Sandback's art, which not only disrupts traditional conceptions of material presence but also stages an ethics of interaction between object and observer. Drawing on Sandback's substantial archive, Edward A. Vazquez demonstrates that the artist's work--with all its physical slightness and attentiveness to place, as well as its relationship to minimal and conceptual art of the 1960s--creates a link between viewers and space that is best understood as sculptural even as it almost surpasses physical form.

Fred Sandback: Vertical Constructions by Yve Alain-Bois; Marianne Stockebrandt "Fred Sandback: Vertical Constructions," published on the occasion of the Sandback show at David Zwirner in Fall 2016, takes its lead from a historic 1987 exhibition of Sandback's work in Münster, also called Vertical Constructions. With a mixture of rescanned archival imagery that shows the work in situ in Münster, and new photography of these lyrical works installed in the Zwirner gallery, this catalogue is both a historical document and the next step in this body of work, almost exactly three decades after its first presentation.

Fred Sandback by Emily Wei Rales; Harry Cooper (Contribution by); Briony Fer (Contribution by) This book explores major works by the ground-breaking Minimalist artist Fred Sandback. Fred Sandback's yarn installations are inseparable from their environments: the light and space that surround and complete them. Employing acrylic yarn in his large, deceptively simple constructions, Sandback "create[s] dizzying effects of space and geometry.... The wonderful paradox of the work... is insistently trifling and insistently perfect" (The Washington Post). This comprehensive monograph features a photographic tour of the exhibition, along with illustrations from the artist's work in other media, including drawings, wooden relief, and wire and yarn sculptures from each decade of his career, as well as authoritative essays and unpublished notes and drawings from the artist's archive.

Fred Sandback: Drawing Spaces by Fred Sandback; Kerstin Skrobanek (Editor); Reinhard Spieler (Editor, Preface by); Wilhelm-Hack-Museum Staff (Contribution by) The American artist Fred Sandback became famous in the 1970s for his sculptures made of coloured acrylic yarn, which he used to rewrite geometric bodies or to impact upon spatial situations.This catalogue presents for the first time a broad selection of Sandback's works on paper, drawings and prints. This provides impressive evidence of how Sandback has seamlessly transferred the classic techniques of lithography, etching and woodcuts into the aesthetics of his time and retraced the development process of his sculptures in his prints.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Fred Sandback: Räume zeichnen, May– August 2011, Wilhelm Hack Museum, Ludwigshafen am Rhein.

Fred Sandback: Drawings 1968-2000 by Fred Sandback (Artist); Gianfranco Verna (Text by) Fred Sandback wanted from the beginning to make sculpture, but sculpture with neither volume nor mass, neither interior nor exterior. For more than half his life he succeeded in that impossible-sounding task, solving its riddle with lines in the form of steel wire and acrylic string. He described spaces, constructed perspectives, and demarcated borders, visible and invisible. The drawings on paper collected here, while closely allied to his exhibition work, were seldom mere drafts or working sketches; they are autonomous and self-confident signs.
