À propos de la quatrième de couverture:

Albert Paley’s monumental sculpture, Threshold, was dedicated on October 30, 2006, in Rochester, New York.

Albert Paley’s monumental sculpture, Threshold, was dedicated on October 30, 2006, in Rochester, New York. Located in front of the new headquarters for the Klein Street Service Inc, it was commissioned by the company and its CEO, Joe Klein, and it commemorates the long-standing professional and personal relationship between Albert Paley and Joe Klein.

The book documents the history of Klein Steel from its origins in the post-World War II Rochester to the present day. In doing so, the city of Rochester, New York, is featured, as is the background of the steel industry in the United States. Joe Klein’s education, business acumen and his commitment to the arts and creativity is examined, as is his friendship with Albert Paley, covering over 35 years.

The artist’s evolution is framed within the context of patronage in the arts and corporate support of the arts, as well as against the background of recent public art and sites-specific sculpture. Albert Paley’s work has been widely published, collected, and exhibited since the mid-1970s. He is constantly responding to new challenged and his sculpture has never ceased to evolve. This story of the making of Threshold reaffirms his search for new modes of creativity, as well as the dialogue between sculpture and architecture at the same time. This documents the unique bond between a chief executive officer and an artist.
