Florida has been a magnet for artists for centuries, thanks to its natural beauty, distinctiveness, and warmth. While fine painters have been featured in art books about the state, little has been written about important sculptors who have adopted it. To remedy the dearth of literature on the subject, Florida Sculptors and Their Work: 1880–2020 is a tribute to these diverse artists who have enchanted, amused, saddened, or outraged us.

Capturing the essence of the Sunshine State, this well-researched and generously illustrated volume tells the fascinating stories of these creative people and reveals the secrets behind their three-dimensional art, from realistic to abstract to folk art. Discover how Florida has inspired such world-renowned artists as Augusta Savage, Duane Hanson, Richard Anuszkiewicz, John Chamberlain, and Robert Rauschenberg, as well as lesser-known yet highly praised sculptors who have enhanced collections throughout the world and changed the state's profile with their iconic public art.

This indispensable resource is a must-have for those interested in Florida's art, history, and culture.
