Le présent ouvrage est réalisé à l'occasion de l'exposition du même nom présentée au MUba Eugène Leroy, Tourcoing, du 14 octobre 2017 au 8 janvier 2018.00Jusqu?à l?époque moderne, le socle a joué un rôle purement fonctionnel. Avec "Les Bourgeois de Calais", Auguste Rodin, pour la première fois, interroge le rôle du socle en l?intégrant à l?œuvre. Un peu plus tard, Constantin Brancusi en fait sculpture à part entière ; les socles multiples, qu?il empile parfois jusqu?à quatre ou cinq, constituent ainsi des édifices complexes ayant leur propre raison d?être. C?est sa "Colonne sans fin", sculpture qui a particulièrement retenu l?attention de Carl Andre. L?américain emprunte à celle-ci la répétition d?un motif simple pour créer ses premières sculptures minimalistes : combinaison de modules de bois brut aux formes géométriques élémentaires.

Co-founder and co-editor of October magazine, a veteran of Artforum of the 1960s and early 1970s, Rosalind Krauss has presided over and shared in the major formulation of the theory of postmodernism. In this challenging collection of fifteen essays, most of which originally appeared in October, she explores the ways in which the break in style that produced postmodernism has forced a change in our various understandings of twentieth-century art, beginning with the almost mythic idea of the avant-garde. Krauss uses the analytical tools of semiology, structuralism, and poststructuralism to reveal new meanings in the visual arts and to critique the way other prominent practitioners of art and literary history write about art. In two sections, "Modernist Myths" and "Toward Postmodernism," her essays range from the problem of the grid in painting and the unity of Giacometti's sculpture to the works of Jackson Pollock, Sol Lewitt, and Richard Serra, and observations about major trends in contemporary literary criticism.

Intertwines a dual emphasis on evolving institutional priorities and major shifts in artistic production.
