Richard Cork, art critic, writer and broadcaster, delivered the Lethaby
Lectures at the Royal College of Art on the l4th and 21st November, 1974.
The title of the lectures posed the question:
Sculpture Now: Dissolution or Redefinition? The lectures define and examine
the position of sculpture within contemporary art, seeing current
tendencies on the one hand toward dematerialization and reduction of the
vocabulary of orthodox sculptural expression (Andre, Bell, Flanagan,
Flavin, Judd, Ruckriem and Visser), to radical departures from that
tradition that sculpture in the accepted sense is no longer the end product
(Bochner, Burn, Fulton, Gilbert and George, Graham, Kosuith, Long and
Oppenheim). (2 x B)
