Alison Wilding: On Paper
- Alison Wilding OBE, RA (b. 1948) is one of Britain's foremost sculptors, tracing the trajectory of her artistic evolution, this original publication provides the first survey of Wilding's output on paper
- Lavishly illustrated throughout, featuring essays by Professor Anna Lovatt whose research focuses on the role of drawing in Conceptual Art and renowned curator and art historian Penelope Curtis, and an in-conversation with the artist by Rosie Cooper, Director of the Wysing Arts Centre
Best-known for her ambitious sculptural works, this volume explores how Alison Wilding’s compelling drawing and extensive use of collage have been integral to her development for five decades. Whilst sharing affiliations with Wilding’s three-dimensional work, the artist’s drawings – often in series – expand upon her investigation of surface by using a distinctive formal language. The works are characterised by a strong interplay between representation and metaphor, incorporating a range of materials – from ink to silicone fluid – to visualise and test ideas of mass and depth.
Alongside essays by Anna Lovatt and Penelope Curtis, and an in-conversation with the artist by Rosie Cooper, this full-colour survey of over 300 illustrations offers the opportunity to track subtle correspondences in forms and concepts between historic and recent series of works. This publication was conceived by gallerist and Ridinghouse founder Karsten Schubert.
