内容提要：

该书为三卷本，是南希·鲁宾斯四十年雕塑和绘画的视觉之旅。前两卷一开始介绍了鲁宾斯的学生作品，她的主题、创作方法和抱负都在这里一一浮现。在第一卷，读者可以看到许多大型雕塑，首先是带有混凝土和钢筋的旧电器，然后是被电缆网网住，并悬挂起来的拖车、热水器、床垫、飞机零件、小船等。第二卷研究了鲁宾斯的巨大雕塑作品的草图。浓密的石墨铅笔痕迹体现了作品在制作过程中迸发出来的强烈而充沛的能量。书中附带的一本小册子，收录了她于1972-1974年在巴尔的摩火车站照相亭所拍摄的一系列幽默、直白的自拍照。

This three-volume publication is a visual journey through forty years of Nancy Rubins’ sculptures and drawings. The first two volumes begin with Rubins’ student work, where her themes, methods and ambitions emerge. The first volume moves through numerous large-scale sculptures incorporating massive quantities of used electric appliances with concrete and rebar, then on to trailers, hot water heaters, mattresses, airplane parts, and small boats held in suspended tension by webs of cables. The second volume explores Rubins’ often gigantic and sculptural drawings, densely covered with graphite pencil marks that embody the intense and abundant energy of their making. A final booklet with a series of playful and candid self-portrait photographs taken at the Baltimore train station photo booth in 1972–4 completes Work.
