Picasso
For a long time, Picasso's sculptural oeuvre was one of the best-kept secrets of 20th century art. It was only through retrospectives in Paris, London and New York in the sixties that Picasso, the sculptor, became known to a larger public, revealing a complexity and variety in his sculptures that easily equals that of his pictorial and graphic works. A seminal work informed by conversations between the author and his artist friend Picasso, this publication by the Picasso expert Werner Spies also includes a catalogue raisonné of Picasso´s sculptures. The present edition has been thoroughly revised and now includes numerous color illustrations of important works. It features about 740 works by the artist, ranging from tiny little figures torn from paper to constructions from metal, wood and found objects, folding sculptures made from tin to large, often monumental works. The book is one of the most inclusive works on Picasso's sculptures, which, in their ingenuity and inventiveness, still provide an inexhaustive source of inspiration for today's artists.
