In the 1960s Tim Scott tested the limits of what a sculpture could be. Visionary and audacious, his large-scale constructions radically transformed the inheritance of Constantin Brancusi and Henri Matisse. How spatially expansive could sculpture become whilst retaining its identity as sculpture? Could sculpture incorporate colour and translucency, without abandoning a sense of mass and density? Scott explored these questions in materials new to sculpture including plywood, fibreglass, steel, aluminium, perspex and latex foam. This publication provides succinct commentaries on ten key sculptures by Scott, along with an introduction by his contemporary William Tucker.
