TOTEM: THE UNTOLD STORY OF SCULPTURE (HB)

A story-led journey into the heart of sculpture by renowned art historian and curator Jo Baring, which explores creativity, memory and the impulse to work in this medium. Along the way we encounter the prehistoric Lion Man figure found in a German cave, an ancient Mayan pyramid that conjures a serpent made of shadows, icons of the Italian Renaissance such as Michelangelo's Pieta, and the work of twentieth century and contemporary giants such as Alberto Giacometti, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Constantin Brancusi, Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama and Antony Gormley.
