Books & Catalogs by Sandy Bleifer
Returning to work full time in the studio in 2012 after a 15-year hiatus to orchestrate the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Memorial Project and to implement a vision for the revitalization of downtown Los Angeles, I felt it was important to compile a complete history of my oeuvre. What was the evolution of ideas over time? What were the underlying "constants"? I produced a 4-volume compendium of all of my work from 1974 through 2004, which I realized was, consistently, of, on and about paper.
