City Sculpture, a special issue of Studio International July/August 1972.
Cover illustration of sculpture by Nicholas Munro. Includes an additional 10 page foldout. One of the five issues of Studio International included in the exhibition, Five Issues of Studio International, curated by Jo Melvin at Raven Row in 2015.
“The selection of five issues from [Peter] Townsend’s editorship [of Studio International] – April 1966, May 1968, September 1969, July/August 1970 and July/August 1972 – focuses on the role of sculpture, which over this period was a vector for profound change in art: from post-constructivism and kineticism, through the abstract formalism at St Martin’s School of Art, to post-minimalism and conceptualism. As a socialist, Townsend saw in sculpture a privileged medium to effect social change. The exhibition will revisit the role of sculpture in the definition of public space in a period when it became the flashpoint for political and social contestation. In this context, the pages of Studio International themselves played a role in shaping the debates about the limits and visibility of contemporary art.” – Text via Raven Row
