John Panting: Sculpture

Description

The monograph reproduces over 350 photographs, many taken by Panting himself, exhibiting the full range of the artist’s work and the complete arc of his brief but meteoric career. The large photo archive (the original of which is now with Tate Britain) is accompanied by a definitive text by Sam Cornish, specialist abstract art essayist and curator of the 2013 Adam Art Gallery exhibition, John Panting: Spatial Constructions, who traces the story of Panting’s development in context. This stage-by-stage analysis and appreciation demonstrates Panting’s highly original and lucid contribution to sculpture and the compelling fusion of sensibility and intellect which ensures his importance to the narrative of modern art.
