Zeitgenössische Skulptur

Over the past twenty years, since theory has begun scrutinizing the concept of sculpture itself, the genre has been experiencing a new renaissance as an artistic form of expression. The collection brings together a variety of texts exploring what it means for artists to make and think about sculpture today. Including poetic statements, manifestos, letters, playscripts and a significant number of interviews, it allows artists to describe in their own words the fascinating terrain of contemporary sculpture, in all of its diverse practices and processes, and its multiple materials and meanings.
