The sculptural history of the long 1980s has been dominated by New British Sculpture and Young British Artists. Arguing for a more expansive history of British sculpture and its supporting infrastructures, these twenty-three vivid and enthralling interviews with artists, curators, dealers and facilitators working then demonstrate the interconnected networks, diversity of ideas and practices, energy, imagination and determination that transformed British art from being marginal to internationally celebrated.

With a substantial introduction, this timely volume provides valuable new insights into the education, work, careers, studios, infrastructures and exhibitions of the artists and facilitators, substantially enlarging our understanding of the era.

Imogen Racz is Associate Head of School – Research, School of Art and Design, Coventry University, UK. Specialising in post-war sculptural and object-based practices, she has published widely around themes related to the home, including Art and the Home: Comfort, Alienation and the Everyday (2015).
