Re-Constructivism
In this innovative and elegant book the scale models of Henry Milner, many of them newly commissioned by GRAD: Gallery for Russian Arts and Design, are used to investigate and reveal the formal novelty of these structures and make them work as three-dimensional objects. Chapters by a team of international art historians and curators are complemented by fresh translations of writings from the period to re- veal the fascination with materials and structure that led to objects as diverse as Tatlin’s flying machine, Lissitzky’s utopian figurines, Rod- chenko’s spatial constructions and the geometric propaganda kiosks of Klucis. Profusely illustrated with photographs of the original works and Milner’s models, this book will delight any enthusiast for Construc- tivist art and the radical political environment in which it arose. This volume is published in associa- tion with the exhibition Utopia Ltd at GRAD: Gallery for Russian Arts and Design, London, 20 September — 20 December 2013
