Synopsis

Birmingham not only attracted major sculptors from London, but as a great manufacturing city it possessed busy workshops of local sculptors, often closely associated with its progressive and important art school. As a result the city has an extensive range of monuments and sculptures accessible to the public. This book documents this heritage as fully as possible, from the earliest surviving item to modern, recently erected sculptures.

About this title

Synopsis:

Birmingham has an extensive range of monuments and sculpture accessible to the public, and this catalogue documents this rich heritage, from the earliest surviving item to modern, recently erected sculptures. Included are not only independent works such as grand monuments, portrait statues, abstract sculptures and fountains, but also sculpture executed to embellish the city's civic and commercial architecture. The book is arranged by location, and details are given of sculptors, history, materials, dimensions, ownership, condition, and literature related to the sculptures. There are also photographs of most of the hundreds of works included.
