SynopsisWilfred Cass is a sculpture collector based in Sussex, best known as one of the leading powers behind--and supporters of--contemporary sculpture. Cass and his wife, Jeannette, longtime friends of such prominent sculptors as Henry Moore and Elisabeth Frink, acquired many works by their friends and other artists over the years, and in 1992 they decided to sell them and put the proceeds towards the art of sculpture. Launching the Cass Sculpture Foundation, the pair immediately began working to commission public sculptures as a way to simultaneously promote the art of sculpture and support some of its greatest practitioners. In The Man Behind the Sculpture , Wilfred Cass tells the story of his life and his experiences in and around the art world. Offering a close-up account of his friends and partners and the art they made, it will be of enduring interest to fans of contemporary British sculpture., This book is an intimate profile of the man and artist, highlighting his personal and professional achievements, Wilfred Cass CBE FRSA is co-founder of the Cass Sculpture Foundation, a charitable commissioning body. Long-term friends of Henry Moore and Elisabeth Frink, Wilfred and Jeannette sold their own personal collection of Moores, Frinks and Ayrtons, which they had bought directly from these artists, to fund the creation of their park. Based in Goodwood, West Sussex, the charitable foundations aim and consistent focus is to promote and advance British sculpture to a global audience and through a vigorous programme of commissioning, funding and marketing, the Foundation has enabled the fabrication of 150 major new works by leading British artists.
