Nigel Hall

sculpture and works on paper

de Andrew Lambirth

"Nigel Hall is one of the foremost sculptors of his generations. His preoccupation with space and balance has led him to create some of the most beautiful works of sculpture to have been produced in this country over the last thirty years." "This book, the first comprehensive survey of Hall's output, is published to coincide with a retrospective at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. As well as showing the sculpture, the extensive selection of illustrations includes many of Hall's working drawings and finished works on paper, revealing his skill as a draughtsman and the great importance of drawing to his practice." "As he considers work ranging from the early spatial considerations to Hall's most recent public pieces, Andrew Lambirth examines the artist's career, providing an insight into his development and working method."--book jacket.
