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.

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.    are much more than documentary records of his life and times: they have considerable       Henry Moore: Writings and Conversations completes and complements the catalogues       The core of the book consists of a selection    captions have been contributed by a range     sculptures and drawings adds significantly  Celebrating Moore makes an essential contribution to the study and appreciation   ‘This is a fascinating and revealing study written with admirable clarity.’ The Art Newspaper order online at www.lundhumphries.com/mbs or phone: +44 (0)1235 827730/ US 1-800-535-9544 b a R b a R a h E p w o R t h 03 BARBARA HEPWORTH: THE PLASTERS THE GIFT TO WAKEFIELD Edited by Sophie Bowness with    and Gordon Watson Lund Humphries – Leading Publishers on Modern British Art for over 60 years Published in association with The Hepworth Wakefield Includes 85 colour and 115 b&w illustrations April 2011, 200 pages, Hardback,260 x 220 mm 978-1-84822-066-9 http://www.lundhumphries.com/isbn/9781848220669 £35.00/ $70.00 Published to coincide with the opening of The Hepworth Wakefield in May 2011 Features a fully illustrated catalogue of a little-known collection of 44 plasters (and other prototypes) by Barbara Hepworth, gifted to The Hepworth Wakefield by the Hepworth Estate Presents new research into aspects of the work of Barbara Hepworth that have received little attention previously Makes extensive use of archival material that has not been explored in any depth previously, and reproduces many fascinating archival photographs, including some which are previously unpublished • • • • 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: INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR Karen Wilkin Includes 80 cololur and 14 b&w illustrations 2009, 152 pages, Hardback, 280 x 240 mm. 978-1-84822-031-7 http://www.lundhumphries.com/ isbn/9781848220317 £30.00/ $80.00 ANTHONY CARO: DRAWING IN SPACE Mary Reid Includes 66 colour and 20 b&w illustrations 2009, 152 pages, Hardback, 280 x 240 mm 978-1-84822-030-0 http://www.lundhumphries.com/ isbn/9781848220300 £30.00/ $80.00 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. Limited availability 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. ANTHONY CARO: PRESENCE Paul Moorhouse Includes 73 cololur and 9 b&w illustrations 2010, 152 pages, Hardback, 280 x 240 mm 978-1-84822-053-9 http://www.lundhumphries.com/ isbn/9781848220539 £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.

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. www.lundhumphries.com/mba 04 Lund Humphries – Leading Publishers on Modern British Art for over 60 years a n t h o n y c a R o 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.

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.

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.
