Alan Sonfist: Corings 1971 – 2012

The Coring sculptures by Alan Sonfist utilized geological engineering technology to expose the hidden dialogue beneath the Earth. Each one of the drillings reveals the dynamic shifts of time below the urban centers in which the process was conducted. The drillings go from 0 to 150 feet below the surface level of the cities. The book chronicles the beginnings of the Coring series from New York City to Koln Germany. The book features an introduction by Lawrence Alloway.
