"Over the course of a fifty-year career, Stephen De Staebler (1933-2011) created powerful,
elegiac figurative sculptures in clay and bronze. Extending and assimilating an artistic
lineage that includes Michelangelo, Auguste Rodin, and Alberto Giacometti as well
as the art of the ancient Americas, Egypt, and Greece, De Staebler developed a sculptural
vocabulary uniquely his own. A resident of the San Francisco Bay Area since the late
1950s, De Staebler was among the first students of the legendary Peter Voulkos at
the University of California, Berkeley. In conjunction with the Bay Area Figurative
movement, De Staebler helped to infuse the existentialist agenda of Abstract Expressionism
with a profound humanism. Illuminating the significance of De Staebler's practice
as never before, curator Timothy Anglin Burgard analyzes the artist's major pieces.
Poet and critic Rick Newby sketches a biographical portrait of the sculptor, and renowned
art historian Dore Ashton offers a moving tribute to the artist, with whom she was
a lifelong friend. Produced in collaboration with the artist and his estate, this
authoritative volume--published on the occasion of a major exhibition at the de Young
Museum in San Francisco--offers an unprecedented glimpse into the sculptor's studio
and process."--Publisher's website
