Alison Wilding - Vanish & detail - Alison Wilding

Exploring over 25 works by Alison Wilding - one of Britain's most noted sculptors - this publication draws on the artist's ambitious display at the Duveen Galleries, Tate Britain.

Wilding is known for her inventive approach to both form and materials. Each of the five major works on display at the Tate brings together contrasting materials - from copper and alabaster to rubber and PVC - while testing the relationship between scale and weight. The exhibition also served to celebrate the Tate's acquisition of her 2004 work 'Vanish & Detail'. This volume contextualises those works within Wilding's oeuvre. Alongside 70 illustrations and an interview between the artist and curator Carmen Jula, a survey text by Anna Moszynska groups the works in relation to the sculptures made by Wilding throughout the nearly four decades of her career.
