PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
After many years working as curator in museums and galleries, Gerardine Mulcahy-Parker is now a freelance curator, heritage consultant and founder of 'The Exhibitours' touring exhibition company. She has been researching the work of Alfred Gruber and Jacqueline Stieger for a number of years.
'A lovely and fascinating book about two sculptors whose wide ranging, and much too little known, work is a sheer delight.' - Sir Mark Jones, Former Director of the V&A Museum 'Both a love story and an investigation into how two sculptors employed a wide range of approaches, materials and scales to negotiate a path between the absract and the figurative, this fascinating book takes the reader on a journey from the Post-Second World War era to our own day.' - Philip Attwood, Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum 'A fascinating insight into the lives of Alfred Gruber and Jacqueline Stieger, intertwined, for ten intense years, in mutual love and focus on making innovative sculpture. Gruber's death left Stieger a legacy of technical knowledge enabling her own unique expressive power to be realised in large, and small scale, works of art.' - Rosemary Ransome Wallis, Art Director and Curator (1972-2017), The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths
