"Fieldwork" is a collection of works by American sculptor Richard Nonas (1936–2021). Nonas, who had experience conducting fieldwork in the Arctic Circle and remote communities as an ethnologist, became known for his sculptures exploring the relationship between objects and space from the 1970s onward. This book features approximately 150 black-and-white photographs of his New York studio. Not only are finished works present, but the space, a mixture of fragments, materials, tools, and everyday objects in progress, emerges not merely as a workshop, but as a place where traces of thought and action have accumulated. This dense, cavernous interior space makes sculptural arrangement and relationships themselves the subject, strongly suggesting the sense of "place" that underlies Nonas's practice. This book visualizes the point where an ethnological perspective of observation and awareness of arrangement intersects with sculptural thinking.
