<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Richard Deacon: What You See Is What You Get presented at The San Diego Museum of Art from March 25 to July 25, 2017."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Among the artists who redefined British sculpture in the 1980s, Richard Deacon (born 1949) remains a pioneering figure. This book presents the full range of the artist's oeuvre, from freestanding sculptures and wall-mounted works to glazed ceramics and works on paper. Deacon sidesteps the issue of technique: nails, screws and mounts are not hidden in his sculptures, and willowy bent-wood pieces contrast with carefully engineered constructions in galvanized steel and welded polycarbonate. <p/>Like the tension in so many of Deacon's titles, this book suggests a paradox. As with the whole of the artist's oeuvre, the selection in this book--spanning more than 30 years--is based on contradictions: the tension between a word and its meaning.
