Tucker's personal take on the reinvention of sculpture

William Tucker is a well-known and widely-praised British sculptor. In this book he lays out his take on the last hundred and fifty years of sculpture. He sees it as a time of reimagining the art form and certainly there has been a renaissance in sculpture from its place in the 19th century making war memorials to current sculpture which is often the best viewed avant garde pieces of art for the general public. This isn't a textbook, or a broad survey. It's a personal reading of the history. I find it to be quite interesting, but somewhat incomplete.
