The Sculptural Idea

Now available from Waveland Press, this highly regarded work provides an ideal starting point for students of sculpture to become aware of the refinements and diversities of form, ideas, materials and technology that the last decades of the twentieth century have brought to contemporary sculpture. Having evolved from two earlier, successful editions, this thought- provoking and challenging Third Edition is loaded with relevant and helpful examples as it aims to communicate what it is like to be an artist who thinks sculpturally. The author's personal, philosophical approach provides the background readers need in order to assimilate and to extend their own ideas-- to create art that will become paramount to their culture.
