![Modern Sculpture: Artists in Their Own Words (Documents of Twentieth-Century Art)](http://monsterbookshop.co.uk/cdn/shop/files/9780520297494.jpg?v=1712867170&width=1445)
This tapestry of primary sources is an essential primer on sculpture and its makers.
Modern Sculpture presents a selection of manifestos, documents, statements, articles, and interviews from more than ninety sculptors, including a diverse selection of contemporary sculptors. With this book, editor Douglas Dreishpoon defers to artists, whose varied points of view illuminate sculpture's transformation-from object to action, concept to phenomenon-over the course of more than a century. Chapters arranged in chronological sequences highlight dominant stylistic, philosophical, and thematic threads uniting kindred groups. The result is an artist-centric history of sculpture as a medium of consequence and character.
