What new paths have sculptors opened up since the end of World War II? Based on late works by Constantin Brancusi and Alberto Giacometti, this unique comprehensive volume illustrates the exciting and multifaceted developments in this dynamic art form. It demonstrates how the classic notion of form and sculpture was set in motion, became more abstract, was brought closer to the ordinary everyday object, dissolved spatial or conceptual boundaries, or even reconstituted itself by returning to figurative traditions. The long and top-class list of the artists being presented ranges from Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, and Jean Tinguely to Franz West, Damien Hirst, and Monika Sosnowska. On the basis of selected works from the Kunstmuseum Basel and outstanding loans from international museums and private collections, the tour opens up a dense, extremely rich world of contrasts.

第二次世界大战结束后，是什么新的路径让雕塑家重新开放起来?根据Constantin Brâncusi和Alberto Giacometti后期的作品，这本独特全面的插画展示了令人兴奋和全方面发展的动态艺术形式。这标志着形式和雕塑的经典概念被调动了起来，变得更加抽象，更接近于普通日常物体，溶解空间或概念的界限，甚至重组自身回到具象的传统。那些****的艺术家们被呈现出来的有从巴勃罗·毕加索（Pablo Picasso），亨利·摩尔（Henry Moore），尚·丁格利（Jean Tinguely），到弗朗兹·韦斯特（Franz West），达米恩·赫斯特（Damien Hirst）和莫妮卡（MonikaSosnowska）。根据这些从巴塞尔艺术博物馆，未偿贷款的国际博物馆和个人收藏中被选定的作品来展示。这次旅程将会给大家打开一个浓厚的，及其丰富的世界的反差。
