The Sculpture of Reg Butler

The sculpture of Reg Butler is the first book-length overview of Butler's sculpture throughout his career until his death in 1981. It catalogues and illustrates virtually all extant works. Margaret Garlake analyses the development, themes and visual and intellectual origins of the sculpture; considers why Butler has been largely ignored since the early 1960s; examines his studio practice and sculptural techniques; and assesses his work in the context of that of his contemporaries.
