Edited by James Voorhies and Sarah Auld

Forthcoming MIT Press

Designed by Practise

Catalogue raisonné authors: Joan Pachner, sculpture; John Keenen, architecture

Made possible with funding and support from Tony Smith Foundation and MIT Press; initiated as part of my responsibilities while Executive Director of the Tony Smith Foundation

Working with a team of editors, designers, researchers, artists and scholars, the Tony Smith Catalogue Raisonné Project will put forth a comprehensive record of American modernist Tony Smith’s (1912–1980) bodies of work: sculpture, architecture, painting, and drawing. The books will provide the foundation for future study, interpretation, and analysis of the artist’s work and legacy.

Against Reason: Tony Smith and Other Modernisms will be a companion series of books—each published alongside the catalogue raisonné volumes—with commissioned essays and projects situating Smith’s work within wider transdisciplinary contemporary arts discourses.
