"Anita Huffington came to New York City in the late 1950s to study dance with Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham, an experience that intensified her sensitivity to the nuances of the human form at rest and in motion. At the same time she became part of the creative excitement of the artists, poets and musicians working in NY's East and West Village, and counted New York School artists such as Franz Kline, Willem de Kooning, Frank O'Hara, Al Leslie, Mary Frank, Marisol and others among her circle of friends. From this mixture of experiences, she began to find her own path - as a sculptor." "Huffington's small bronze and stone sculptures, as well as her more recent over life-sized works, are frequently based on ancient Greek marbles and myths, or relate to the primal forces of nature. Her sculptures possess beauty and serenity of form without extraneous detail. She skillfully makes apparent in her works the contemporary nature present in the spirit and traditions of the past. This volume brings her bronze, stone, wood and alabaster pieces to life through the exquisite detail photographs of David Finn. It is the first comprehensive book on her work."-Front Flap Signed by Anita Huffington.
