50 Women Sculptors cover

How many women sculptors can you name? This book will help you to understand the work and lives of dozens of women sculptors - significant artists from the past as well as those working in the exciting world of sculpture today. Camille Claudel Barbara Hepworth Elisabeth Frink Niki de Saint Phalle Louise Bourgeois Ruth Asawa Rachel Whiteread Malvina Hoffman Maggi Hambling Cornelia Parker Senga Ningudi Sophie Ryder and many more... With an overview of women making sculpture from the 1800s to today, we explore the work of fifty extraordinary women artists who have forged a name for themselves in a male arena, broken rules, pushed boundaries and inspired us with their visionary creations.

"There is need for books to celebrate new thought, new ideas, new people and this is what it achieves."--Guy Portelli, Sculptor "Email "; "50 Women Sculptors is a beautifully illustrated book which presents the world of undervalued and under recognised women sculptors from the past as well as a selection from the present, with in depth interviews on their life, inspirations, working methods and use of all materials mentioned above - an improvement compared with the past but there is still room for full equality to be achieved. For those interested in sculpture, whether practising sculptors or researchers, or those at the start of their careers, this is an extremely valuable book and perfect introduction to encourage further research and interest in sculpture by women." -Lorna Green, sculptor and environmentalist; "It shows a wide range of sculptural practice with interesting interviews giving insight into the artist's process." - Clare Burnett, president Royal Society of Sculptors.
