Book Reviews of Sculpture Today
Book Review: Beautiful images, great selection of artists, but the text is lacking
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the best collection of photographs of recent important works in sculpture. The book is heavy, solid and looks excellent.
The artists are very well selected. Some familiar names, and some obscure names. Frankly some will disappear and some will become famous. This is the sculpture of today without the filtering of time.
But the text! Very hard to read and poorly edited as well. One of those times when looking artsy hurts with the actual ability to read the material.
Anyway, I recommend the book 100% for those who are interested in the images, and a little less than that for those who want to read about contemporary sculpture.
Summary of Sculpture Today
Over the past three decades, sculpture has retaken its position at the forefront of contemporary art, with artists redefining the medium in remarkable and revolutionary ways. SCULPTURE TODAY is the only book to provide such a wide-ranging and richly-illustrated overview of contemporary sculpture. Thematic chapters examine the diverse subjects that have inspired sculptors in recent years, including the body, gravity, color, light, architecture, and clothing. A wide range of works is discussed, offering an insight into the incredible range of ideas, styles, materials, techniques, and locations explored in this versatile genre. This authoritative yet accessible text ensures the book's appeal to a wide range of readers.General Books
