"The editorial team, and invited experts in the field, have drawn on a mass of archival and scholarly material, including Gunnis's own extensive unpublished archive, to rewrite all the major lives of the sculptors, and to add over 1,000 new ones. Each entry gives a brief biography of the sculptor, where possible, followed by a list of his or her known works. Each work is identified by date and location, past or present, and provenance, materials, exhibitions, known preparatory sketches and models, and bibliographical references are also recorded." "The dictionary is a treasure trove of information for sculpture, architectural and art historians. It will also be of great interest to enthusiasts and collectors, and to those with a general interest in British cultural history who wish to identify or locate works of sculpture in Britain and to learn more about the artists who created them."--BOOK JACKET.

This title was first published 2003. In the twentieth century, Britain was rich in artistic achievement, especially in sculpture. Just some of those working in this field were Jacob Epstein, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Anthony Caro, Richard Long, Mona Hatoum and Anish Kapoor. The work of these and other known and less well-known artists has an astonishing variety and expressive power, a range and strength that has placed Britain at the hub of the artistic world. Alan Windsor has compiled a concise biographical dictionary of sculpture in Britain in book form. Richly informative and easy-to-use, this guide is an art-lover's and expert's essential reference. Written by scholars, the entries are cross-referenced and each concise biographical outline provides the relevant facts about the artist's life, a brief characterization of the artist's work, and, where appropriate, major bibliographical references.
