"Drawing on Gabo's extensive and largely unpublished archives of letters, diaries, notebooks, models and sketchbooks, Hammer and Lodder discuss the sculptor's work in the context of his relations with other avant garde artists, architects and critics, including his brother Antoine Pevsner. They also situate his aesthetic theory and practice within the Constructivist movement and the wider tradition of twentieth century art, and they examine Gabo's accomplishments in each of the diverse milieus in which he worked." --
