Dr. Avery has worked on Italian sculpture since he joined the
Victoria and Albert Museum in 1966. His study continued during his
career as Director of Christie's sculpture department (1979-1990)
and since then as an independent consultant and historian. He has
published extensively in this field, including his survey,
Florentine Renaissance Sculpture (1970); Giambologna: the complete
sculpture (1987); Donatello: an Introduction (1994); and Bernini,
Genius of Baroque Rome (1997). A number of articles on Italian
sculpture have been included in two successive volumes entitled
Studies in European Sculpture (1981 and 1987). The present volume
comprises further articles written over the decade since 1986, some
on specific discoveries and others consisting of broader surveys of
individual sculptors' activity or under-studied classes of
Renaisance sculpture: bronze artefacts, such as seals and locks;
and garden sculpture. Several are unpublished texts of lectures, or
radical expansions of briefly published pieces.
