New British Sculpture
New British Sculpture. A term sometimes applied to the work of a loosely connected group of British sculptors who emerged in a series of exhibitions at the beginning of the 1980s, notably ‘Objects and Sculpture’ shown at the Institute of Contemporary Arts and the Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol, in 1981. There is no single common factor linking these sculptors, but predominantly their work is abstract (although sometimes with human associations), using industrial or junk material, and most of them are represented by the same dealer—the Lisson Gallery, London. Among the leading figures are: Tony Cragg (1949– ), Grenville Davey (1961– ), Richard Deacon (1949– ), Anish Kapoor (each of these four has won the Turner Prize), David Mach (1956– ), Julian Opie (1958– ), Richard Wentworth (1947– ), Alison Wilding (1948– ), and Bill Woodrow (1948– ). Most of these are well represented in the Saatchi Collection.
