Description

Explore the complex relationship between size and meaning in this essential study from Routledge. Scale in Contemporary Sculpture: Enlargement, Miniaturisation and the Life-Size offers a deep look into how modern art uses measurement and exaggeration to communicate ideas. This book serves as the first serious academic investigation into how scale functions within the context of postmodern theory and the rise of global capitalism. Author Rachel Wells examines the significant international trends in sculpture that have emerged since the early 1990s. By looking at how artists manipulate scale, the text provides a framework for understanding the connection between sculptural form and the socio-historical forces of our time. This is a vital resource for students, researchers, and art historians interested in the evolution of contemporary sculptural practices and the philosophical shifts that drive them.
