The Alchemy of Sculpture
From the artist's original, through the lost wax and sand casting process to the pour of the metal and the final patination, this clear and modern book guides the reader through a technique with a 6000 year history to its twenty-first century application
Sculpture by Bruce Beasley
"Bruce Beasley was discovered in 1960 by Dorothy Miller, the curator of painting and sculpture at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Miller included Beasley in MOMA's 1961 seminal exhibition The Art of Assemblage, which featured such luminaries as Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Louise Nevelson, and Robert Rauschenberg. The following year MOMA acquired one of Beasley's sculptures, making him at age twenty-two the youngest artist to be included in the museum's permanent collection. In 1963, André Malraux, the French minister of culture and famous writer and philosopher, awarded Beasley the Purchase Prize in the Paris Biennale. Beasley followed this auspicious beginning by becoming one of his ...
The Art of Bronze Casting
From the Artist's original through the lost wax and sand casting process to the pour of the metal and the final patination, this clear modern book guides you through a technique with a 600 year history to its 21st century application. Over 200 dramatic photographs show every aspect of the painstaking detail and dedication required to produce spectacular works of art.
Lynn Chadwick
This highly readable book provides a comprehensive survey of Chadwick's career: from his beginnings as an architectural designer in the 1930s, through his emergence as a major international sculptor in the 1950s, to his late, isolated pursuit of monumental bronze and steel sculpture in the 1980s and 1990s. It reassesses earlier critical positions on his work, and post-war British sculpture more generally, and offers a fresh perspective on all phases of his long and productive career. -- Book Jacket.
Geoffrey Clarke, Sculptor
Geoffrey Clarke (1924-2014) was a pioneer in a golden age of British sculpture, whose fearless experimentation with new materials and processes saw him create works that epitomise the vibrancy of the post-war British art scene. This fully-illustrated catalogue raisonn�, the first of its kind, confirms Clarke's position among the leading lights of a generation, which included Lynn Chadwick, Reg Butler and Kenneth Armitage. There are few familiar with the full scope of Clarke's prolific output - how it transgressed from early iron pieces, indicative of the 'geometry of fear', to elegant aluminium works and later wooden abstract pieces of the 1990s. Spanning nearly five decades of making, Cla...
David Bailey
I'm not saying I'm a sculptor, I just make images. I don't take photographs, I make them. And now I'm making something else. Renowned as one of the world's most illustrious photographers, Bailey shocked viewers as he presented a dark and rugged collection of cast silver and bronze sculptures alongside a body of new photographs, underlining the stark contrast between the two media and emphasizing his versatility as an artist. This book, designed by Bailey, showcases these new works. The book explores the idea that image-makers should not be confined to one discipline, a freedom that Bailey fully justifies with these powerful works.
George Fullard
George Fullard: Sculpture and Survival is the first book for almost 20 years on the life and work of this highly individual British artist, whose achievement and influence are now winning belated recognition. Fullard's sudden death at the age of 50 in 1973 cut short a career that had already moved through several very distinct phases. A virtuoso modeller in clay, he was championed by John Berger in the 1950s as Britain's best young realist sculptor but swiftly moved on to experimenting with large-scale assemblages in which he explored dream, memory and his preoccupation with the sculptural 'phantom'. Fullard's landmark exhibition at the Marlborough Gallery in 1964, featuring his War Series, ...
Conjunction
Charisma, resourcefulness, dedication and pioneering spirit are all attributes that can easily be applied to both Lynn Chadwick and Geoffrey Clarke, and from their prolific outputs it is clear that both had an indefatigable passion for sculpture and brought exacting standards to their making. After crossing paths constantly in the 1950s, for the rest of their lives Chadwick and Clarke rarely communicated. Yet at the root of their 'rivalry' there was undoubtedly admiration and a common set of concerns, formal and aesthetic. It is these that Conjunction sets out to explore. Both an essay by Judith LeGrove and an introduction by Polly Bielecka describe Clarke and Chadwick's parallel careers and characters, and their meeting points.

Modern Conflict and the Senses
Modern Conflict and the Senses investigates the sensual worlds created by modern war, focusing on the sensorial responses embodied in and provoked by the materiality of conflict and its aftermath. The volume positions the industrialized nature of twentieth-century war as a unique cultural phenomenon, in possession of a material and psychological intensity that embodies the extremes of human behaviour, from total economic mobilization to the unbearable sadness of individual loss. Adopting a coherent and integrated hybrid approach to the complexities of modern conflict, the book considers issues of memory, identity, and emotion through wartime experiences of tangible sensations and bodily requirements. This comprehensive and interdisciplinary collection draws upon archaeology, anthropology, military and cultural history, art history, cultural geography, and museum and heritage studies in order to revitalize our understandings of the role of the senses in conflict.
