Book is signed (with dedication) on the title page by Richard Wentworth - see scan
Born in Samoa in 1947, Richard Wentworth first came to prominence in the late 1970s, along with other British sculptors who focused on the everyday object. By focusing on the overlooked, and transforming and manipulating industrial or found objects into works of art, Wentworth both subverts their original function and challenges existing systems of classification. Playful, often fantastic, all his work reveals an acute intelligence allied to an irreverent and mischievous sense of humour.
Published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition at Tate Liverpool, this is the definitive book on the artist. A selection of leading authors from the fields of the visual arts, psychology and linguistics examine Wentworth’s interest in language, visual perception and memory and help explore the artist’s role in the history of British and international art over the last three decades. Includes sculpture, photographs and new work created especially for the exhibition.
