Description:... "The editorial team, and invited experts in the field, have drawn on a mass of archival and scholarly material, including Gunnis's own extensive unpublished archive, to rewrite all the major lives of the sculptors, and to add over 1,000 new ones. Each entry gives a brief biography of the sculptor, where possible, followed by a list of his or her known works. Each work is identified by date and location, past or present, and provenance, materials, exhibitions, known preparatory sketches and models, and bibliographical references are also recorded." "The dictionary is a treasure trove of information for sculpture, architectural and art historians. It will also be of great interest to enthusiasts and collectors, and to those with a general interest in British cultural history who wish to identify or locate works of sculpture in Britain and to learn more about the artists who created them."--BOOK JACKET.
