Display And Displacement: Sculpture And the Pedestal from Renaissance to Post-Modern

by Alexandra Gerstein (Editor)

The relationship between sculpture and pedestal is at the intersection of a number of art-historical disciplines, ranging from the history of design, architecture, and urbanism to museum studies, yet because of its supporting role it has remained a largely neglected and unstudied field. This book includes essays ranging from sixteenth-century Venice to twenty-first-century London that provide a fascinating variety of approaches to the issue.
