Sculpture And Touch (Subject/Object: New Studies In Sculpture)

This book introduces a new impetus to the discussion of the relationship between touch and sculpture by setting up a dialogue between art historians and individuals who are working in disciplines beyond art history. The collection brings together a diverse set of approaches, with essays tackling subjects from prehistoric figurines to the work of contemporary artists, from pre-modern ideas about the physiology of touch to tactile interaction in the museum, and from the phenomenology of touch in philosophy to the findings of scientific study.
