Synopses & Reviews
This gem of a book provides a comprehensive look and insightful notations on the contemporary sculpture collection in the museum of Oxford University. Sponsored by the Henry Moore Foundation, the book makes accessible for the first time many pieces by Epstein, Frink, Maillol, Moore, Underwood and Zadkine -- most small bronzes but some larger works. It provides a context in terms of the Ashmolean's world-famous collections of antique and Renaissance sculpture and the development of twentieth century sculpture as a whole.
Number 18 in the Ashmolean Handbook series, it has been written for laypeople as well as experts. (Ashmolean Museum)
