Sculpture Studies Research Cluster
Description
Sculpture Studies encompasses all elements of sculpture, ranging from Egyptology and Assyriology to contemporary periods. It boasts an active role in theoretical and historical research pertaining to sculpture, forging new insights drawn from diverse disciplinary backgrounds and historiographic methodologies.
Collaborations with significant global centres for sculpture study and display, including Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the Hepworth Wakefield, and the Henry Moore Institute, enhance its profile.
This discipline welcomes further research at Masters, doctoral, and post-doctoral levels in various sectors such as post-1945 modern and contemporary sculpture, American post-war art sculpture, interrelations between sculpture and experimental film, and 20th-century modernism in Europe and America, among others.
The focus also extends to British modernist sculpture, the Lady Lever sculpture collection, Gothic Revival sculpture, Pre-Raphaelite and New Sculpture, and Italian Renaissance and Baroque sculpture. Other areas include late 14th to early 16th-century sculpture in Germany and the Netherlands, 12th to 15th-century sculpture and monumental art in Britain and Northwest Europe, and early medieval sculpture's display, historiography, and iconography.
