The son of an abstract painter and an architect, de Movellán perfectly balances both of their influences in his own work. Each piece is unique, precisely constructed to be refined and detailed, yet unpredictable in its motion. From the rich mahogany, maple inlays, and leaf-shaped fans of Swiss Movement to the artist’s first outdoor sculpture, the eight-foot-tall Lily in polished aluminum and gold leaf to the most recent carbon fiber works weighing mere ounces, included here is every sculpture de Movellán has made throughout his career. The book also features text on de Movellán’s various styles and techniques and offers insights on his use of size, shape, material, color, and range of motion. Also included are detailed conceptual sketches and schematics for selected works as well as ephemera marking milestones in his career. For the collector, curator, and fan of kinetic sculpture and contemporary art, this volume serves as a must-have first part to de Movellán’s catalogue raisonné.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can purchase the book here:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0764345656/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0764345656&linkCode=am2&tag=splesass-20">Pedro S.
