Charles Ray (*1953 in Chicago) is widely regarded as one of the preeminent sculptors of our time. Like Katharina Fritsch and Jeff Koons, Ray strives toward three-dimensional figuration, which is evident in the white-painted steel sculpture Boy with Frog, 2009 - a work that was installed on the Punta della Dogana in Venice, where it was a major attraction. This catalogue has been publisched on the occasion of the exhibition «Charles Ray : Sculpture, 1997-2014» at the Kunstmuseum Basel and the Art Institute of Chicago and provides an overview of the major sculptures Ray has created since 1997, including several previously unpublisched works. These works are examined in detail in essays by Michael Fried, Richard Neer, James Rondeau, and Anne M. Wagner.
