Sculpture in the 70s

The early masters of modernist sculpture were still very active in the seventies, as works by Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth demonstrate, as well as innovative assemblage by Louise Nevelson. The seventies were also an anarchic time for sculpture, as more and more artists were using found objects, mixed media, epehmeral media, and combining studio practice with street practice (Charles Simonds).
