Richard Deacon - Phaidon 1990

Richard Deacon has occupied the foreground of British sculpture since the 1980s. His virtuoso constructions in wood or metal range in scale from the domestic to the monumental, their structure recalling both engineering and anatomy. The forms he creates evoke the material world of everyday artefacts and the inner world of the body, as site of sensuality, of memory and language. This book from the iconic Phaidon Contemporary Artists series, is about of the artist's fascinating work.  Under the dir. of Jon Thompson, Pier Luigi Tazzi and Peter Schjeldahl  Phaidon - 1990 160p - EN - 25x29cm - softcover in dust-jacket - good condition
