Publisher: Navado Press

Published in 2005 by Navado Press in conjunction with Germany's Stiftung für Konkrete Kunst, this specialized volume documentation compiles a fifteen-year retrospective of British-born minimalist artist John Beech. The 100-page catalog documents Beech's signature approach to "everyday reductionism," a process where he reconfigures humble, mass-produced utility items—such as raw plywood, rubber car mats, industrial tape, and heavy-duty dumpsters—into abstract sculptural forms and painted assemblages. Featuring an introductory analytical essay in both English and German by art historian Gabriele Kübler, the book acts as a comprehensive regional and structural archive containing full-color plates, a complete exhibition history, and a detailed bibliography tracking the evolution of his raw material manipulation.
