Petherbridge, Deanna
Sculpture up front
Art Monthly, '80, p7-15
1980
Very rich year for commissions but many examples of architects not wanting to involve artists, of delaying commissions till the very end, of being dismissing of artists'attitudes and intentions; ref. to art schools attitude to p.a. as adulterating 'pure art'; good points on competitions and the selection of artists and on professional training or lack of it; evidence of German architects being desultory about commissioning because of the mandatory pressure of % for art (and no doubt the mundane results?); attack on the RA sculptors with ref. to the ÎMonty' memorial.
