作为英国现代雕塑的代表人物，林恩·查德维克（1914–2003）以其用焊接钢材与青铜铸就的抽象化人兽形态而闻名。他的作品于1952年威尼斯双年展首度引发国际关注，短短四年后更成为史上最年轻的国际雕塑奖得主——当时这一奖项原本众望所归地预测将由阿尔贝托·贾科梅蒂获得。查德维克漫长的艺术生涯充满悖论：当其作品在英国本土逐渐失宠之际，他在国际艺坛的声誉却始终屹立不倒。

 

作为首部将查德维克置于国际视野的专著，《林恩·查德维克：国际舞台上的雕塑家》旨在扭转这一认知偏差。艺术史学者迈克尔·伯德与马林·R·沙利文通过全新视角梳理其艺术发展脉络，生动地将查德维克置于战后欧美雕塑的宏大语境中——包括1962年与他在意大利共同创作的贾科梅蒂、大卫·史密斯等艺术家的实践，以及美国艺术界对其作品的接受史。本书沿着查德维克艺术生涯的关键节点，最终为这位重要艺术家在20世纪雕塑史中重新确立了应有的地位。

 

Misjudged in his native Britain, acclaimed abroad: this book for the first time sets the work of Lynn Chadwick in its international context.

 

A leading modern British sculptor, Lynn Chadwick (1914–2003) was celebrated for his abstracted figures of human and animal forms in welded steel and bronze. His work first attracted international attention at the 1952 Venice Biennale. Just four years later he became the youngest-ever artist to be awarded the International Prize for Sculpture, which Alberto Giacometti had been expected to win. The paradox of Chadwick’s long career is that, while his work later fell out of favor in his native Britain, he would always sustain a high reputation abroad.

 

The first book to set Chadwick’s work in international context, Lynn Chadwick: A Sculptor on the International Stage sets out to change that. Art historians Michael Bird and Marin R. Sullivan provide new insights into the development of his work. They vividly locate his art within the wider context of postwar European and American sculpture, including the work of Giacometti and David Smith, who worked alongside Chadwick in Italy in 1962, and Chadwick’s reception in the USA. Taking readers through key developments in Chadwick’s career, this volume rightfully restores this major artist’s place in the history of 20th-century sculpture.
