“This richly illustrated exhibition catalog accompanies Toys: Esteban Vicente. Sculptures 1968–1998, a retrospective held from January 29 to May 5, 2002, at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente in Segovia, Spain. Spanning three decades of the Spanish-American artist’s sculptural work, the book focuses on Vicente’s whimsical, vibrant assemblages made from painted wood, often referred to as “toys.”

Playful yet formally sophisticated, these small sculptures offer a fresh perspective on Abstract Expressionism’s principles—transformed into three-dimensional compositions.A document of both artistic joy and material experimentation, the catalog captures the intimate, intuitive spirit of Vicente’s sculptural practice.”
