Description
Synopsis: This magnificent and beautiful work includes an extensive and illuminating text paired with an exceptional collection of 646 color photographs and 78 line drawings of the processes involved in forming metal sculpture, as well as contemporary and historic examples. The author describes in detail the two techniques used to form sculpture castings in metal: the lost wax (cire perdu) method, and the modern variant of sand casting. Metal finishing processes on sculptures are explored in detail. One of the remarkable features of the cooperation given by Pangolin Editions, the largest sculpture foundry in Britain, is the presentation of 114 patination recipes, developed over 20 years by Rungwe Kingdon, Director of Pangolin. For a patinator to give away his trade secrets is not just unusual, it is unprecedented. Hurst describes the importance of metal casting in art education, based on his 35 years of experience teaching sculpture students in universities and apprentices in the engineering industry. The book is an important addition to the libraries of art schools and universities as well as professional and amateur sculptors.
I was extremely pleased with this seller! the value of this book, and the condition in which it was packaged in were beyond great! The layers of protection so as any poor handling in the mails, could not have affected it, which is extremely important if you are a collector of rare or hard to find books. Delivery was prompt. You couldn't expect better service. I would give this seller the highest rating possible.
This book was in great condition (as described by the seller) with good pictures. The price was among the lowest for this hard to find book. The book was impressively well packed not only in a sturdy cardboard box, but also wrapped in many layers of protective cardboard. Delivery was prompt as well.
I have never received such an indestructibly packed item in my life! Item was as described (mint and still sealed) and couldn't have been shipped any better (both speed and protection of the item). Very very pleased! Thank you!
