About Steve Tobin

This incisive monograph explores contemporary artist Steve Tobin's extraordinary oeuvre, from his world-renowned outdoor sculptures to his large-scale blown-glass pieces, massive bronze castings, and transformative Waterglass and Steelwaters series. Well known for his Trinity Root 9/11 memorial sculpture, a tribute to the victims of the World Trade Center attack in Lower Manhattan, Steve Tobin is a prolific sculptor whose artist’s eye and rigorous scientific mind have led to diverse monumental artworks in steel, cast bronze, ceramic, and glass that push the limits of every medium he has touched. From metal castings of trees’ vast root systems to towering termite mounds cast on-site in West Africa to waterfalls miraculously springing from ceilings made of millions of glass capillary tubes or steel rods, Tobin’s dynamic site-specific sculptures and key smaller works and installations exhibited around the world yet rarely seen together are featured here in more than 150 stunning photographs. Tracing the development of Tobin's nearly thirty-year practice is an essay by Phoebe Hoban, author of the best- selling biography Basquiat: A Quick Killing in Art, while a foreword by David Houston, art curator and director of the Bo Bartlett Center and Archives, College of the Arts at Columbus State University, Georgia, firmly establishes Tobin within the context of the contemporary art world. Both a celebration of a distinctive body of work and a powerfully evocative window into the hidden natural forces at work around us, Steve Tobin: Mind Over Matter is a compelling, seminal look at a truly visionary artist
