Tracing the trajectory of Alison Wilding’s artistic evolution, this original publication provides the first critical survey of Wilding’s rich career. Drawing on extensive interviews with the artist and referencing numerous secondary sources, Briony Fer and Jo Applin situate Alison Wilding’s work within its rightful place in the history of modern abstract sculpture. Resisting categorisation, Wilding’s sculptural language steps beyond the so-called ‘new sculpture’ which emerged within Britain in the 1980s, to embrace the European and American vocabularies for producing large-scale abstract sculpture that appeared from the 1960s onwards.
