Description:
In 1998, sculptor Robert Graham was commissioned by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to create the monumental bronze doors which would serve as the entry way into the planned Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, the first major cathedral to be constructed in the United States in the new millennium. This book details the process of Graham's groundbreaking creation and the iconography of the thirty-foot by thirty-foot, twenty-five-ton bronze doors, and puts the work in a historical perspective.
