A secret history of clay: from Gauguin to Gormley

Abstract

"A Secret History of Clay: from Gauguin to Gormley reveals the previously undisclosed love affair between artists and this most overlooked of materials and, in doing so, unearths a neglected modern art history. Featured artists include Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Jeff Koons, Isamu Noguchi, Pablo Picasso and Cindy Sherman." "This catalogue accompanies the major Tate exhibition A Secret History of Clay: from Gauguin to Gormley."--BOOK JACKET.
