British Sculpture

Henry Moore






Eric Gill
Ecstasy (originally called Fucking)
Mother and child
Joseph Epstein 

Rock Drill

British Medical Building The Strand


Barbara Hepworth





Eduardo Paolozzi (I know - his parents were Italian. OK)






Richard Long







Gilbert and George - everything we do is a living scuplture




Damien Hirst - paintings go on the wall, sculptures go on the floor.




Paul Fryer




Anthony Gormley - the body is the sight of conscousness - in a way of being






Rachel Whitread - the space inside




Anthony Caro - abstraction with the same feelings of humaness. Sculpture is food for the eyes, I don't know what it's for.




Andy Goldsworthy








Elizabeth Frink


Cornelia Parker






Anish Kapoor
There are so many I have been fortunate enough to experience up close and personally.
I love his work

I have really like Henry Moore, Andy Goldsworthy, Eric Gill and Anish Kapoor. Of the others, they are interesting but as yet not grabbed like I am sucked in by the others. There is something I get that is sexy and alive and emotional in those. There are many others I have loved. I really like a Hepworth bust I saw in a gallery but not posted here. So It's been interesting checking out these few

A place worth a visit I reckon!   http://www.sculpture.uk.com/
