Review "Eric Gibson's The Necessity of Sculpture reads like a sharp answer to Baudelaire's claim that "sculpture is boring." His genuine and informed response to the medium and clear, critical writing make it an indispensable book on the subject." ―Philippe De Montebello, Director Emeritus, The Metropolitan Museum of Art "Eric Gibson is one of our best art editors at work today. In his (nearly nonexistent) spare time he is also a probing critic and astute essayist. One of his great interests in art history is the relatively neglected area of sculpture. Gibson has written all across the field. Be prepared: he will not only inform you, but make you think; not only make you look, but make you see." ―John Wilmerding, Sarofim Professor Emeritus in American Art, Princeton University Read more About the Author Eric Gibson is the Arts in Review editor of The Wall Street Journal and one of the paper’s art critics.
