New
British Sculpture Group
A
group of sculptors associated with the Lisson Gallery
in London in the early 1980s. There is no specific
characteristic style which links them together and
yet they all worked with ordinary and conventional
materials, and attempted to connect the meaning of
their work with everyday life. What also
defined these artists was their return to the
production of individual, autonomous objects, after
the innovations of Conceptual and
Performance Art, which had dominated the previous
decade.
Representative
artists:
Cragg, Deacon, Opie, Woodrow
