Sculpture Now (World of Art)

Hard as stone, chip chip good

This book so far is very informative about contemporary sculpture and the changes that continue to occur within the field.

This is a great book for anyone who is involved in contemporary sculpture and wants to learn some solid foundation building for their work. The artists featured are brilliant, some more than others in my opinion but that's what's so great about art.

very good book.

Super! speedy delivery!

This is an exceptionally good book about contemporary sculpture. The many illustrations and photos are wonderful. Most of the text is very well done, although here and there "artspeak" (that is, elegantly trivial) shows up, which the reader can skip--sculpture is a lively enough subject to hold interest even if an author now and then pontificates. Look at the plates and decide for yourself what is good and what is iffy.This is a very good general survey, and a good way to note names of artists that interest you, so you can study them in more detail. The coverage is quite inclusive. Too many art books concentrate on Europe and North America, but not this one. It features artists from China and Japan, some from India, a few from Turkey, and a modest number of Latin Americans. There isn't much from Africa.The art displayed is extremely diverse--and some that some readers may not consider to be sculpture. However, the category is broadening. Any book such as this will be out of date soon, as new artists emerge and established artists explore new materials and concepts. So read it now. It really is good.

Great little starter book

I received the book and while the content of the book is quality, the condition of the book was very poor. It was completely saturated with liquid and I had to rip pages apart through out the entire book.Extremely disappointed in the lack of quality of a brand new book.

I bought this book for my partner who is a sculpture. He thought this was an excellent account of Sculpture now, informative and extremely interesting.

Totally current art work . Need for contemporary artists

Ottimo libro, carta di qualità, contiene quanto era di aspettativa dell'amico per cui conto l'ho acquistato. Spedizione perfetta, come sempre
