Giacometti
by
One of modern art's true originals, Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) spent a lifetime refining his characteristic sculptures of strange, rail-thin figures, which are among the most recognized art of the 20th Century. In this monumental book, the reader is provided with the most detailed profile of Giacometti yet published. It includes a wealth of illustrations, texts, conversations, diary entries, letters, interviews and quotes, and the result is a many-layered picture of Giacometti both as a person, and as an artist. His life is portrayed through his own statements, and in reports by those who knew him -- including family members, pupils and students, and artist-friends such as Man Ray, Picasso, Breton, Hans Arp and Salvador Dali, as well as collectors and patrons such as Peggy Guggenheim. Giacometti's legacy is followed from his earliest days to his latest work, and the book offers an invaluable resource for all serious students of modern art.

Barbara Hepworth
by Matthew Gale
Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) is internationally acclaimed as one of the major sculptors of the mid-20th century. Initially a carver of hard woods and stones, she diversified her work to include plasters and bronzes, as well as paintings, drawings, and prints. Examples of all these art forms are included in this unrivaled collection of Hepworth's works, providing an overview of the whole of her 50-year career. New research and current assessments combine to throw light on the making, history, and contemporary reception of 83 pieces. This is the most extensive and detailed reassessment of Hepworth's work to have been undertaken to date.
Botero Sculptures
by Jean Clarence Lambert
The work of contemporary Colombian artist Fernando Botero is well known throughout the world. His exaggerated rendering of fleshy human, animal, and still-life figures has become an unmistakable characteristic of his style. This beautifully illustrated volume is one of the few to focus solely on Botero's sculpture, which provides an ideal medium for his exploration of space and volume. The book showcases works in small and medium format as well as the famous monumental works that have made Botero the leading sculptor of the 20th century.
