Acrylic Sculpture

The sculptor Ron Mueck first came to major critical attention during the controversial Sensation exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in 1997, and since then he has received international recognition. His figurative sculptures, which are usually cast in silicon and acrylic, are celebrated for their incredible lifelike detail, although his manipulation of their scale means that they often evoke reality rather than directly imitating it. This generously illustrated book is the first to discuss the range of Mueck's innovative work to date. Since 1999, Mueck has been Associate Artist at the National Gallery, London, creating work in response to its collection. Published to accompany the first exhibition of these new pieces, this book contains two essays: Colin Wiggins explores in detail the new sculptures' links to the National Gallery's collection, and Susanna Greeves examines Mueck's work in a wider artistic context.

From classic bangles and baubles to avant-garde sculptural pieces and body ornaments, this collection of striking photographs showcases the finest work of more than 80 jewelry designers. An eminent jeweler discusses the subject in all its aspects: materials, methods, aesthetics, and the interaction between the wearer and the ring, necklace, or brooch. With such wonderful pieces as Annelies Planteydt's delicate necklace of hammered gold and Peter Chang's colorful acrylic and polyester bracelet, this portfolio provides a wealth of ideas and a visual feast.

Snow sculpture - Snow sculpture is a sculpture form comparable to sand sculpture or ice sculpture in that most of it is now practiced outdoors, and often in full view of spectators, thus giving it kinship to performance art in the eyes of some. The materials and the tools differ widely, but often include hand tools such as shovels, hatchets, and saws.

Sculpture of Ancient Greece - The sculpture of Ancient Greece is by far the most important surviving form of Ancient Greek art, although only a small fragment of Greek sculptural output has survived. Greek sculpture, often in the form of Roman copies, was immensely influential during the Italian Renaissance, and remained the â€œclassicâ€ model for European sculpture until the advent of modernism in the late 19th century.
