Caro-Wilding: Shifts in Modern British Sculpture (Cv/Visual Arts Research Book 38)

Cv/VAR series 38 considers the changing axis of British sculpture from the 1960s, both in the formulation of individual works, and the gradual shift in emphasis of sculptural discourse. For its purpose it makes a focus on the activity of two leading artists of their generations Anthony Caro and Alison Wilding; both of international standing and influential magnets of influence for succeeding artists. The piece also considers their relationship to their immediate contemporaries, and touches on the diverse forces at play in shaping the art and culture of our time.
