Joseph Havel likes the physical facts of sculpture. Dispensing with the glut of imagery from various media in the world, Havel chooses images and shapes from his own life - not narrative, per se - as a way to organize the formal elements of his sculptural works. Published to accompany the major exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Joseph Havel: A Decade of Sculpture 1996-2006 is the first major book to focus on Havel's investigation of sculptural form and meaning during the last ten years of his career.
