Beskrivning
By foregrounding the overlaps between sculpture and the decorative, this volume of essays offers a model for a more integrated form of art history writing. Through distinct case studies, from a seventeenth-century Danish altarpiece to contemporary British ceramics, it brings to centre stage makers, objects, concepts and spaces that have been marginalized by the enforcement of boundaries within art and design discourse. These essays challenge the classed, raced and gendered categories that have structured the histories and languages of art and its making. Sculpture and the Decorative in Britain and Europe is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and practice of sculpture and the decorative arts and the methodologies of art history.

Recensioner i media

The rich case studies offered in this volume cumulatively propose a new framework for the study of three-dimensional representation, from figure to filigree. Its authors interrogate the unstable boundaries and porous relationships between sculptures and decorative objects, attending to contexts as varied as the architectural, the ceremonial, the national, the nautical, and the conceptual. Sculpture and the Decorative is the rare anthology that offers a broad chronological range—from the musical metaphors of 17th century altarpieces to institutional critique’s reliance on the found object—in combination with a lively conversation among authors about the received terms through which art histories are narrated.
