This his is the first book on British sculptor Michael Sandle. Michael Sandle is widely recognised as one of the finest sculptors in the world and one of the few contemporary artists to tackle the his sixties, he is most famed for the semi-architectural Malta Siege-Bell Memorial at Valletta, perhaps the finest of all World War II commemorations. Its centrepiece bell, the 'Santa Maria', is one of the largest ever forged. Sandle has no public work in America but he has taught there, and another of his masterpieces, A Twentieth-Century Memorial, had its genesis in California. His international status, unmatched in his field by any other British artist of his generation, was confirmed when he was awarded the Rodin Grand Prize in 1986, Japan's most prestigious contemporary art award. His latest work - and his largest public commission in England - is a memorial to the world's seafarers, for the world headquarters of the International Maritime Organisation in London. The Sculpture of Michael Sandle concentrates on the artist's masterpieces but pays due tribute to his brilliance as a draughtsman and printmaker and reveals some of his as yet unrealized projects.
