Charles Ray: Volume III Hardback

The third installment commemorating Charles Ray's rotating exhibitions at Glenstone The diverse sculptural practice of American sculptor Charles Ray (born 1953) has long challenged perceptions of scale, material and subject matter, necessitating multiple viewings over time.

Charles Ray: Volume III is part of an ongoing series of publications commemorating rotating exhibitions of the artist’s work at Glenstone Museum, the third of which opened in the winter of 2021. Organized in close collaboration with the artist, the selections showcase Ray’s practice from early in his career to the present day, with four works ranging in material from concrete and steel to handmade paper used to realize a recent self-portrait, Return to the one (2020).

This catalog includes documentation of the exhibition at Glenstone, an original essay by the artist, a contribution from art historian Anna Lovatt and an introduction by Emily Rales, cofounder and director of Glenstone Museum.
