Softcover in very good condition with minimal wear and pages are clean and unmarked. Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, undated. Book measures 10\" x 10\", 76 pages with biographical information about the artist, and full color photos of his unique sculptures. Near Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the foothills of the Sangre de Christo Mountains, eerie robots loom out of the pinon and juniper scrub. They suggest icons of the world\'s religions - Buddhist, Christian and American Indian - and they have titles like Hopi Nuclear Mudhead No.1 and Pontius Pilot Award for Washing Hands of Nuclear Situation. Grim humor is reflected not only in the names of these sculptures but also in the recycled materials Tony Price uses to create his works of art: The gleaming machined parts come from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which does defense work and in 1945 produced the first atomic weapon. - from an article in Life Magazine in 1989.
