For the last ten years, the sculpture foundation has worked with more than one hundred leading British sculptors. The result has been an extraordinary body of three-dimensional art whose range and ambition is immense and whose sheer physical volume would fill most conventional museums of modern art a few times over. 'Visions' both celebrates the innovative nature of sculpture in Britain today and explores its ongoing creative potential as we begin a new century.

This book is a fascinating historical showcase of British contemporary sculpture over the past ten years. It features a number of intriguing articles by some of the leading figures in the artistic and sculptural world, as well as inspirational photography by fifteen of Britain's foremost photographers. At the back of the book is the information, biographies and texts explaining some of the thought and meaning that the artists have enveloped in their works. The text brings each photograph to life, and allows one to see the works though the eyes of an enthusiast with the knowledge and vision of the artist.
