Dan Droz: Behind the Fold
"Behind the Fold" documents the background, recent work and unique methods of sculptor, Dan Droz, who, at the age of 69, after a career as a designer and professor at Carnegie Mellon University, became a full-time sculptor. Despite his late start and exhibition constraints related to Covid, Droz has, in a few years, created a national reputation for a new formal language and innovative fabrication methods, documented in this book.
"Behind The Fold" provides a window into Droz's magical world of form, inventive fabrication methods and philosophies and showcases new perspectives on sculpture for other artists, collectors, curators, gallerists and art historians. Further, the body of work and thematic references exposes the limits of our understanding while expanding the possibilities for contemporary sculpture.
