In the 1980s and '90s Indian sculpture was unusually productive of new ideas, new idioms, expressed in a radically wide variety of materials and mediums. The most significant trends, tendencies, and breakthroughs in the use of the sculptural medium are analysed in this volume, along with a sampling of the works of individual artists as representative of this complex whole.

The book also features, in its final section, a photographic portfolio of the works of twenty-seven prominent sculptors of the closing decades of the 20th century. It includes excerpts from the writings of art critics, or statements by the artists, some written exclusively for this book.
