George Segals ghostly figures are immediately recognisable, even by those who dont know the artists name. Some are installed in public spaces, as if participating in the world at large. This book explores his revolutionary technique of casting from live models, as well as his work across a variety of media, presenting him as a restless innovator. George Segals sculptures are unmistakable and inimitable. Among the most compelling artists in twentieth century art, Segal combined a reverence for tradition with a desire to speak in a contemporary idiom. His unique technique of casting live models using gauze strips permeated with plaster and combining these ghostly white figures with objects of everyday use was revolutionary, catapulting him to fame in 1962. Generously illustrated, the book and texts present Segal as a radical experimenter, a traditionalist and an artistic pioneer who worked in paint, photography, printmaking, charcoal and pastel, as well as sculpture.
