Catalogue to accompany the exhibition ¿Bill Tucker: Sculpture and Drawings" at Danese/Corey, New York, from September 8 - October 14, 2017. Tucker¿s sculptures exude a primal identity. Their richly and extensively modeled forms give the impression of having been dug from the earth, but on closer inspection they gradually transform into recognizable shapes ¿ a voluptuous torso, a craggy visage, a horse¿s head or the foot of a god.

Emerging from dense, velvety shades of grey and black are the faces of soldiers, musicians, and warriors.
