Modern sculpture rarely surprises us any more. The idea that modern art can
only be seen in museums is mistaken. Even people who take no interest in art
cannot have failed to notice examples of modern sculpture on display in public
places. Strange forms stand in gardens, and outside buildings and shops. We have
got quite used to them. Some so-called 'modern' pieces have been on display for
nearly fifty years.(暂不提供全部内容)
