MODERN SCULPTURE

All items are subject to prior sale.

Dimensions are height in inches and centimetres. Where items are shown on a base, this is included in the measurements.

Due to the ambiguities inherent in measuring complex three-dimensional objects, the measurements given throughout this publication are primarily to provide a sense of each sculpture’s scale. They are not intended for reference in issues of authentication, etc.

INTRODUCTION

After almost 20 years it is exciting to once again have both the modern and contemporary departments of the Sladmore back under one roof.

This catalogue showcases the diverse range of sculpture, created over a seventy year period, one which saw unprecedented change. It also shows the widening range of Sladmore’s focus from the emotive and romantic power of Rodin through to the distilled stylisation of Laurens.

Catalogue notes, further photographs and a short video are available upon request for each of the exhibits, alternatively they can be found on our new website www.sladmore.com.

We look forward to welcoming you in person to Jermyn Street in the near future.
