From Library Journal:

This lavishly illustrated book begins its survey of modern sculpture with 19th-century neoclassicism. It examines the changing styles and functions of sculpture through the major sculptors and their works, noting the movement from public and political monuments to small, private piecesand then the reverse movement to monumental public works following World War II and the introduction of new materials and techniques. Sculpture succeeds in providing an intelligent overview of modern sculpture which can be understood easily by the layperson yet does not insult or bore the more knowledgeable reader. It discusses hundreds of sculptors, including many rarely covered in other surveys. This is an important general text at a time of resurgence of interest in the study of sculpture. Highly recommended for all collections. Lynell A. Morr, John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art Lib., Sarasota, Fla.
