| Description: |
In 2002, Richard Deacon CBE RA, winner of the Turner Prize in 1987 and one of the world’s greatest abstract sculptors, delivered a lecture entitled ‘Where do ideas come from?’ at Wolfson College, Oxford. Just over a dozen years later, this exhibition will provide an answer. It presents fifteen of Deacon’s models drawn from his entire oeuvre to date, among them one of his earliest models, that for ‘Island’ in 1989, and some of his latest, such as that for ‘Footfall’ from 2013. Cumulatively, they offer a unique and unprecedented insight into Deacon’s conceptualisation and realisation of abstract sculpture.
This discussion launches the second exhibition celebrating the College’'s 50th anniversary. This event accompanies the first exhibition ever to focus on Deacon’s models for large-scale sculpture, Richard Deacon: ‘This is where ideas come from’ |
