The Arts Society Leicester present Sculpture in Britain Today and Tomorrow
Speaker - Raymond Warburton
British sculpture enjoyed a renaissance in the 20th century, with the likes of Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Anthony Caro, and Elisabeth Frink leading the way. But who came afterwards and with what effect? Among the new generation of British-based sculptors were Rachel Whiteread, Antony Gormley, Maggi Hambling, Anish Kapoor, Richard Long and David Nash. These days all six are world-renowned and are still working as hard as ever. Each in their own way is innovative, inspirational, and deeply human. They have produced sculptures that are glorious, challenging and moving in equal measure.
