Sculptures

From December 12 to January 5

Richard Wentworth has played a fundamental role in “New British Sculpture” since the late 1970s. His work alters the traditional definition of sculpture and photography, transforming and manipulating industrial or found objects into works of art, also breaking the conventional system of classification. His work plays with the notion of the ready-made and the juxtaposition of unrelated objects.
