Product Description
Synopsis
This work includes a preface by Jon Wood and and introduction by Alex Potts. "Modern Sculpture Reader" is the first book to provide an anthology of twentieth-century writings on sculpture. It contains over 60 texts that not only make important and intriguing contributions to our understanding of what sculpture may have been in the past, but which are also imaginative, lively and well-written. It covers many moments where a writer decided to write about 'sculpture' or used the words 'sculpture', 'sculptor' or 'sculptural' in ways that marked a new contribution to the discussion of sculpture. Such a primary source collection allows valuable insight into the development of the critical language of sculpture across the twentieth century. It also contains a wide variety of modes and genres of writing that appear in this book (from manifestoes and newspaper articles, to transcribed lectures and artist interviews). As well as tracing the changing definitions of this medium, "Modern Sculpture Reader" also offers access to a number of sculpture's key ongoing concerns across a hundred year period, from materials and techniques to the monument and the conditions of sculpture's display.
