Customer Reviews

Concise history of modern sculpture

The illustrations in this volume are superb and the text readily helps you follow the trends and fashions in modern sculpture. Basically the book gave me the next step past recognizing Calders and Moores and has inspired many a google search since then. Highly recommended for the non-expert.

Quick and efficient

As an overview of a large amount of sculpture, this book is great. I think it would take multiple readings to get a full understanding since everything is discussed briefly. It's a perfect size to carry around instead of most art books that are about the size of textbooks.

Clear and Condense

This book is a effective and clear review of sculpture from 1945 up to the present. I enjoyed the color plates, the clear descriptions and use it often for resource.

great art history book

I checked out this book from the public library and read it twice before I started learning sculpture. Now I finally bought it and I'm still reading it. It's a wonderful book a have to get inspired from the masterpieces. Know the trends and thoughts in the sculpture field. Helps you create artworks from a border point of view, also improve the criticism knowledge.
