H.C. Westermann Exhibition Catalogue or Monograph

This item is a large-format white hardcover book featuring the artwork of H.C. Westermann. The cover illustration depicts his famous 1964 sculpture titled 'The Invisible Man,' a constructivist wooden figure meticulously crafted from pine, plywood, and various mixed media including glass and metal. The book’s title, 'H.C. Westermann,' is printed in a silver or light grey sans-serif typeface across the center. The featured sculpture showcases expert joinery, including visible dovetail joints on the upper cabinet section. The central figure has a castle-like turret for a head with a single eye, carved nose, and open red mouth. It features asymmetric colored arms—one red and one navy blue—attached to a wooden cabinet body with visible hardware like hinges and a latch. The book appears to be in overall excellent condition with a clean white cover, sharp corners, and minimal signs of shelf wear or yellowing. The craftsmanship of the object pictured reflects Westermann's signature 'anti-art' aesthetic combined with master-level carpentry skills. The publication likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, often associated with major retrospectives of the artist's work organized by institutions like the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.
