For years Pablo 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 during the 1960's that Picasso the sculptor became known to a larger public*who discovered a complexity and variety in his sculptures that easily rivals that of his paintings and drawings. Pablo Picasso: The Sculptures is catalogue raisonna of Picasso's sculptures, a seminal work informed by conversations between the author, Picasso specialist Werner Spies, and Picasso himself. The present edition has been thoroughly revised and now includes numerous color illustrations of important pieces. In all this volume features over 740 works by the artist, ranging from miniature paper figures to constructions from metal, wood, and found objects, from folding sculptures made from tin to massive, at times monumental works. A definitive statement on Picasso's sculptural oeuvre, this book provides a key to understanding and appreciating works that, in their ingenuity and their inventiveness, still provide an inexhaustible source of inspiration for today's artists.

Fabulous Images!,

This review is from: Pablo Picasso: The Sculptures (Hardcover)
Page after Page of beautifully photographed colour images. It's eye candy for the Picasso fan really. Can't get enough of his work. Many of these works are not shown in your average "Picasso and his work" type book. It's a thorough and grounded collection of his sculpture with many stories and anecdotes on the work.
Very interesting and wonderful for research or a collector. A very heavy and big book, not only looks good on the coffee table but is gorgeous to go through slowly, page after beautiful page! A must for every contemporary sculptor or Picasso fan!
