David Nash

For over forty years, David Nash has made sculpture almost exclusively in wood.

At the core of his work is a profound and ever-growing knowledge of trees, enabling Nash to engage closely and intuitively with the characteristics of each species. The extensive statements by him in this book provide a unique insight into both his working methods and the thought processes provoked by this extraordinary collaboration.

David Nash is represented in many museum collections including the Tate Gallery, London, the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museums, New York, and the Setagaya and Metropolitan Art Museums in Tokyo. He was elected RA in 1999 and awarded an OBE in 2004.

The introduction to this lavishly illustrated book is by the distinguished art historian and critic, Norbert Lynton, who has known and followed the sculptor’s work since the late 1960s.

Authors Biography

Norbert Lynton, who died in 2007, was the founding professor of art history at Sussex University and a respected critic. His books include The Story of Modern Art, the Yale Dictionary of Art and studies of Quentin Bell, Paul Klee, Ben Nicholson, Victor Pasmore and Jack Smith.
