Sculptors' Drawings: and Works on Paper

Sculptor's Drawings is a collaboration between the two galleries based here at Kings Place, Pangolin London and Kings Place Gallery in September of this year. The exhibition spans both galleries and the entire public space over three levels at Kings Place. It includes over 200 drawings by both established and emerging sculptors from Picasso to the present day.

The exhibition focuses on the unique way sculptors approach drawing. It explores whether there is a difference between sculptors and other traditional disciplines in the treatment of two dimensional works on paper to communicate three dimensional objects and challenges the notion that sculptors don’t draw.

We cover the many aspects of what sculpture represents today and include some of the big names in contemporary practice as well as big names from the 20th Century and including artists such as Giacometti and Maillol as well as the more contemporary such as Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas. We wish to illustrate the broad range in which they all work from the inclusion of anything from small intimate notebook sketches to much larger works in order to give visitors to the exhibition a greater knowledge of the evolving history and large breadth of this artistic method.
