The Necessity of Sculpture brings together a selection of articles
on sculpture and sculptors from Eric Gibson's nearly four-decade
career as an art critic. It covers subjects as diverse as
Mesopotamian cylinder seals, war memorials, and the art of the
American West; stylistic periods such as the Hellenistic in Ancient
Greece and Kamakura in medieval Japan; Michelangelo, Gian Lorenzo
Bernini, Augustus Saint-Gaudens, and other historical figures;
modernists like Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, and Alberto
Giacometti; and contemporary artists including Richard Serra,
Rachel Whiteread, and Jeff Koons. Organized chronologically by
artist and period, this collection is as much a synoptic history of
sculpture as it is an art chronicle. At the same time, it is an
illuminating introduction to the subject for anyone coming to it
for the first time.
