Benedict Read died suddenly on 20 October 2016. His influence on
art-history in the field of sculpture, and his ground-breaking
authoritative volume, Victorian Sculpture (1982) were hugely
important. He was instrumental in bringing about a sea-change in
academic attitudes towards both the nineteenth century and to
sculpture. This memorial Festschrift published by the PMSA of which
Ben was a founder, former Chairman and trustee, celebrates his
academic achievement, his considerable contribution to scholarship
and the generosity of spirit with which he shared his knowledge. It
is a powerful testament to the inspiration of a remarkable person.
