Elisabeth Frink: Sculpture

Artist: Elisabeth Frink: Sculpture Catalogue Raisonne
Author: Bryan Robertson et al.
Publisher: Harpvale 
Date: 1984 
Condition: A very clean and little-used copy of this important and very detailed catalogue raisonne. Complete with dust cover and the original linen-covered slipcase. 

The first major monograph and catalogue of Frink’s sculpture, this book remains a key text for anyone collecting her work or studying her life and includes much information about the artist and her working methods.

Filled with interesting essays and lots of wonderful photographs, including a large group  taken by Jorge Lewinski of the sculptures in settings, both indoors and outdoors, this manages to be both a functional book with the catalogue of sculpture, but also a visual treat. Frink's larger sculptures, particularly those photographed outdoors, had a massive presence and really inhabit the spaces in which they are placed. 

A must-have volume for anyone interested in Frink or British sculpture in the post-war period and really quite scarce to find now in such good condition
