With essays by Ed Allington, Malcolm Baker, Anthony Hughes, Neil McWilliam, Miranda Marvin, Alexandra Parigoris, Martin Postle, Erich Ranfft and Marjorie Trusted.

This collection of essays is the first of its kind to focus on issues concerning sculpture and reproduction, and to explore their theoretical and practical consequences. What does it mean for a sculpture to be reproduced? Does it diminish or add to the authenticity and authority of the original?

Ranging from the Ancient to the Modern world, and investigating the function of artistic reproduction in cultures as diverse as the Catholic Spain of the Golden Age and the avant-garde of early twentieth century Germany, these essays significantly add to our understanding of a number of major sculptors, including Michelangelo, Rodin and Brancusi.

Reviews for Sculpture and Its Reproductions
Throughout this book, the postmodern questioning of notions such as authorship, original, copy, multiple, variant, and model are effectively reconsidered in terms of the reproduction of sculpture. Anthony Hughes and Eric Ranfft have assembled a series of intellectually challenging and genuinely informative essays . . . The editors have set out to demonstrate that the replication of sculpture played a fundamental rather than marginal role in the history of Western art and they have succeeded in their quest.
