Sculpture on the move 1946–2016

More about the book

What new paths have sculptors opened since World War II? This unique volume explores the exciting developments in sculpture, highlighting late works by Constantin Brâncu? i and Alberto Giacometti. It illustrates how traditional notions of form evolved into more abstract interpretations, embraced everyday objects, blurred spatial boundaries, and sometimes returned to figurative traditions. The book features a diverse array of artists, including Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, Jean Tinguely, Franz West, Damien Hirst, and Monika Sosnowska. Through selected works from the Kunstmuseum Basel and notable loans from international museums and private collections, it reveals a rich world of contrasts. Featured artists include Absalon, Carl Andre, Jean Arp, Max Bill, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, John Chamberlain, Eduardo Chillida, Peter Fischli and David Weiss, Katharina Fritsch, Robert Gober, Duane Hanson, Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Mario Merz, Bruce Nauman, Claes Oldenburg, Gabriel Orozco, Charles Ray, Richard Serra, David Smith, Oscar Tuazon, Danh Vo, and more. The exhibition took place at Kunstmuseum Basel from April 19 to September 18, 2016.
