What is Sculpture Today about?

Sculpture Today Is A Survey Of The Astonishing Changes That The Art Of Sculpture Has Undergone From The 1960s Onwards. Written From A Global Perspective And Generously Illustrated With Almost 500 Images, This Book Takes The Reader On A Journey Through A Story Of Evolving And Often Revolutionary Attitudes To Materials, Methods And Ideas. The Result Of These Explorations Is A Vast Diversity Of Contemporary Art In Three Dimensions. As The Heyday Of Modernism Drew To A Close In The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century, Artists And Critics Began To See Sculpture As A More Vital Discipline Than Painting Because Of Its Physical Presence And Immediacy. Consequently, Sculptors Journeyed Into New Realms - Encompassing Such Varied Topics As The Human Body, Politics, Identity, Clothing, Architecture, Memory, Anthropology And Creating Elaborate Environments. Others Addressed More Traditional Subjects - Including Nature, Scale, Surface And Colour - While Nevertheless Taking Them To Unconventional Ends.--jacket.
