Each shifts between fragment and whole, between the appearance of heroism and the reality of physical limits and struggle.â Image:âChinese Horseâ by William Tucker. Related Posts. In his sculptures, William Tucker concerns himself with the nature, structure and mass of the human body, and this has resulted in a number of sculptures which, interestingly, are more abstract than apparent in form. The exhibition at Buchmann Galerie includes the two monumental bronzes Vishnu and Eve as well as Victory and Homage to Rodin (Bibi), a perfect example of William Tuckerâ™s ability to place innovative sculpture in a historical context. (Joy Sleeman, The Sculpture of William Tucker, Lund Humphries, The Henry Moore Foundation, 2007). Important sculptures from Tuckerâ™s current creative period can be found, among others, in the collection of the Tate Gallery in London, at the Guggenheim Museum and the MoMA in New York, the NasWales in Sydney. îŽ Pressemitteilung.
