Practiced by every culture throughout the history of the world, sculpture is a universal art form that's deeply rooted in the human psyche and may even predate the advent of language. In this wide-ranging book, internationally renowned sculptor Antony Gormley and distinguished art critic Martin Gayford consider sculpture as an art form related to humanity's potential for thought and feeling, as well as to our urge to build, make pictures, practice religion, and develop philosophical thought.
