Poet, critic, and broadcaster, Lucie-Smith has written a history of sculpture since 1945, with a concise summary of prewar influences. He has combined all the important artists of the peirod into one continuous flow of events. The succinct discourse begins with early Modernists, and continues with the Revolution of the 1960s though Kinetic, Minimal, Conceptual, and Land Art, to the Pluralism of the 1970s and the return to Figurative Imagery. There are 32 color photographs and 195 black-and-whites. ISBN 0-87663-665-2: $39.95.
