Description
Among the artists who redefined British sculpture in the 1980s, Richard Deacon (born 1949) remains a pioneering figure. This book presents the full range of the artists oeuvre, from freestanding sculptures and wall-mounted works to glazed ceramics and works on paper. Deacon sidesteps the issue of technique: nails, screws and mounts are not hidden in his sculptures, and willowy bent-wood pieces contrast with carefully engineered constructions in galvanized steel and welded polycarbonate.Like the tension in so many of Deacons titles, this book suggests a paradox. As with the whole of the artists oeuvre, the selection in this book?spanning more than 30 years?is based on contradictions: the tension between a word and its meaning.
