Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Anthony
Caro are key figures in the Royal Academy’s
exhibition Modern British Sculpture (22 January
to 7 April 2011), and all three sculptors feature
prominently on our list.
Henry Moore’s work has been at the core of our
publishing since the mid-1940s, when work began
on what was to become his complete catalogue
of sculpture, followed by the 7-volume catalogue
of his drawings. Our list now includes definitive
guides to his sculpture, drawings and writings (see
p.2), as well as books on less well-known aspects
of his work, such as his textiles. Tate Britain’s 2010
blockbuster retrospective of Moore’s sculpture
and drawings travels to Leeds Art Gallery in March
2011, and is followed by exhibitions of his work
at Hatfield House (April) and the Hermitage, St
Petersburg (May).
In May 2011, The Hepworth Wakefield opens
to the public: a brand new gallery space in
Yorkshire housing at its core an important and
unknown collection of working models by Barbara
Hepworth. We are delighted to be working in
collaboration with The Hepworth and the artist’s
estate to publish Barbara Hepworth: The Plasters
(see p.3), the definitive guide to this fascinating
collection.
Anthony Caro’s Early One Morning was one of the
works which heralded a revolution in sculpture
in the early 1960s, and it is featured in the Royal
Academy’s exhibition. But Caro has gone on
to produce a hugely varied and prolific body of
work, which oscillates between abstraction and
figuration, between open forms and architectural
spaces, between large freestanding works and
domestically sized pieces. Our definitive series
of five volumes on his work, edited by American
critic Karen Wilkin, offers the most comprehensive
overview to date of his outstanding achievement
(see p.4).
The co-curator of Modern British Sculpture,
Penelope Curtis, is also the Series Editor of our
British Sculptors and Sculpture series, which
documents the output of neglected 20th-century
British sculptors. On pp.5-6 we present a selection
of books from this series, together with other key
sculpture reference books and monographs.
We hope that this tantalising selection of books will
inspire you to contemplate the changing definition
of ‘sculpture’ in Britain over the last century.

Henry Moore’s Shelter Drawings are universally recognised as a key element of
his oeuvre. However, these drawings should not be seen in isolation: this volume
provides a highly readable account of the development of Moore’s work as a
draughtsman so providing a well-rounded discussion of this significant aspect of his
artistic output.
In 1953 Moore wrote, ‘there is a general idea that sculptors’ drawings should be
diagrammatic studies, without any sense of background behind the object or of any
atmosphere around it. […] And yet the sculptor is as much concerned with space as
the painter.’ This statement gains resonance in the pages of this book – it becomes
clear that Moore’s drawing often ran ahead of his sculpture and that at certain points
he was exercising an almost parallel career exploring essentially pictorial ideas that
were difficult or even impossible to realise in sculpture.
Including a wealth of colour reproductions, The Drawings of Henry Moore balances
first-class imagery with discussion of a range of fascinating themes such as the
relationship between the sculptural and the pictorial and Moore’s engagement with
Surrealism and British Neo-Romanticism. For both scholars and enthusiasts, it is an
essential resource.

Celebrating the generous gift of Barbara
Hepworth’s plasters to The Hepworth Wakefield
by the Hepworth Estate, this groundbreaking
publication combines a fully illustrated catalogue
of the sculptor’s surviving prototypes in plaster,
and a number also in aluminium and wood, with
a detailed analysis of her working methods and
a comprehensive history of her work in bronze.
In addition, insights into the building which will
be home to the collection are provided through
essays exploring the history of The Hepworth
and, in a contribution by David Chipperfield, the
design of the new museum by his architectural
practice. A fascinating account of the sculptor’s
connections with Wakefield Art Gallery also
features.
The Hepworth’s collection of over forty unique,
unknown sculptures are the surviving working
models from which editions of bronzes were
cast. They range in size from works that can
be held in the hand to monumental sculptures,
including the Winged Figure for John Lewis’s
Oxford Street headquarters. The majority are
original plasters on which the artist worked with
her own hands and to scale. Providing a unique
insight into Hepworth’s working processes, on
which little has been written, Barbara Hepworth:
The Plasters will enhance appreciation of her
work as a whole.
Drawing extensively on archival records and
photographs, this publication is an important
source for information about a significant
collection of work, the gallery which houses
it and Hepworth in general. An invaluable
resource, Barbara Hepworth: The Plasters will
appeal to the specialist and non-specialist alike.
Anthony Caro’s works over the last two
decades have explored the relationship
between architecture and sculpture,
interior and exterior space. Karen
Wilkin traces the development of this
avenue in Caro’s career, culminating in
the commission for St John the Baptist,
Bourbourg, Pas-de-Calais. This thirteenth-
century building has been treated by the
artist as a sculptural volume in which Caro
has erected structures that penetrate and
animate the space.

Anthony Caro’s linear sculptures are
‘drawings in space’. Here for the first time
Mary Reid addresses these pieces as a
coherent body, united by their character
of weightlessness. Her insightful text
introduces the reader to the concept of
linear sculpture, and the plates serve to
highlight this important aspect of the
sculptor’s career. Caro’s use of colour and
his shifting attitude to various materials
are also discussed to enhance the reader’s
appreciation of this stylistic form.
This is a set of Anthony Caro: Drawing
in Space, Anthony Caro: Interior and
Exterior, Anthony Caro: Figurative and
Narrative Sculpture, Anthony Caro: Small
Sculptures and Anthony Caro: Presence,
packaged in a box specially designed by
the artist.

ANTHONY CARO:
BOXED SET
2010, 978-1-84822-057-7
£120.00/ $240.00
This book surveys Caro’s free-standing,
floor-based, constructed, abstract
sculptures from 1960 to the present. The
unifying theme of these works is that
they answer Caro’s imperative ‘to make
something that was as important in a room
as a person’. The author explores the idea
of presence in Caro’s sculpture, focusing
on how, in order to invest sculpture with an
independent existence and self-contained
reality, it was necessary for Caro to purge it
of figurative references.

PRESENCE

£30.00/ $80.00
Though Anthony Caro’s oeuvre is most
readily identified by large-scale, plinthless
sculptures that sometimes dwarf the
viewer, he has directed a significant
portion of his energies for over four
decades to the production of domestically
sized pieces in a variety of media. This
volume explores this aspect of Caro’s
prolific output, covering: Table Sculptures,
Writing Pieces, Ceramics, Bronzes, Paper
Sculptures, Lead and Wood Sculptures,
Silver Pieces and Jewellery.

ANTHONY CARO:
FIGURATIVE AND
NARRATIVE SCULPTURE
Over the past two decades Anthony Caro
has moved on from the steel sculptures
with which he achieved international
standing to explore the unknown ground
where abstract, figurative and narrative art
all meet. As this book reveals, this is not
some reckless late style of an established
artist determined to be provocative.
Rather, these more recent works share
many of the concerns of Caro’s celebrated
sculptures and provide a fresh perspective
from which to recognise essential qualities
of Caro’s art as a whole.

Anthony Caro’s work, over six decades, has always
been unmistakably ‘Caro’, but it has posited many
different – often unprecedented – notions of
what sculpture can be. In order to distinguish the
multiple strands that run through this inventive
artist’s evolution, we decided on a multiple volume
format with each volume dedicated to a different
aspect of his work, each by a different critic, with
an individual point of view. The most challenging
part of the project for me, as the author of one
volume and overall editor, working closely with
my international colleagues, was to ensure that
we discussed all the most significant aspects of
Caro’s astonishing body of work, underscoring
the constants and the variables in his distinctive
approach, while, at the same time, avoiding
repetition. I think we’ve succeeded. Each volume
stands alone but together they offer the most
comprehensive overview, to date, of Caro’s
remarkable achievement.

A leading artist whose first one-person show took place at London’s Serpentine
Gallery in 1975, Rome is most commonly associated with bold and open abstract
shapes, often in public spaces and often in steel. His contemporaries are sculptors
Phillip King, Tim Scott, Katherine Gili and Justin Knowles, and Rome himself cites
as fundamental to his outlook the example of Anthony Caro, a generation older and
a common factor in the careers of all these sculptors. Rome’s work is also visibly
influenced by post-war modernist American art, in particular the sculpture of David
Smith.
Martin Holman relates Rome’s development as a sculptor to the changing scene of
sculptural practice, from the contrasting traditions of modernism and the figurative,
through the influences of New Generation sculpture in the mid-1960s and the
onslaught of Conceptualism and Minimalism at the end of the decade.
This is the first illustrated overview of the forty-year career of British sculptor Richard
Rome (b.1943), who has made an important contribution to the development of
modernist metal sculpture since the 1960s.

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 characterisation of the artist’s
work, and, where appropriate, major bibliographical references.
