William Turnbull (1922-2012) stands as one of Britain's foremost artists in the second half of the twentieth century. Both a sculptor and a painter, he explored the changing contemporary world and its ancient past, actively engaging with the shifting concerns of British, European and American artists. Presenting interpretations of Turnbull's work from an impressive roll-call of over sixty art historians, curators, critics and artists, a picture emerges of an innovative artist who determinedly followed his own path, drawing on influences as diverse as ancient cultures and contemporary music. Expansive in its breadth, William Turnbull: International Modern Artist will stand as the authoritative book on this fascinating artist.
Jon Wood is an art historian and curator specialising in modern and contemporary sculpture. He worked at the Henry Moore Institute and was editor of the Sculpture Journal. Recent publications include: Bill Woodrow and Richard Deacon: Shared Sculptures and Drawings (2021), Heinz Mack (2021), Contemporary Sculpture: Artists' Writings and Interviews (2020), Sean Scully: Sculpture (2020) and Tony Cragg: Stacks (2020).
