Breaking the Mould: From the Weltkunst Foundation

by Richard Cork

British sculpture in the late twentieth century has undergone a remarkable transition. The chief exponents of this younger generation of British artists have gained an international reputation, and indeed, notoriety, in a way rarely achieved by their predecessors. The Weltkunst Foundation is dedicated to collecting British sculpture from the 1980s and 1990s by these younger generation artists, and this is the first book to be published specifically on them.The sculptors included in this collection, such as Damien Hirst, Tony Cragg, Rachel Whiteread, Anish Kapoor and Richard Wentworth, have produced some of the most innovative work to be seen for many years, by challenging the limits of visual art, and questioning accepted ideas of what sculpture can be.
