The radical ideas which broke up the orthodoxy in Western sculpture in the early years of this century yielded a remarkable spread of technologies. Taking advantage of the contemporary technologies, a group of sculptors in India has advanced a sculpture which is categorically different. It is remarkably `pictorial', the way traditional Indian sculpture is, but is served by a fresh method of figuration, that is presented in this book. The text consists of a major essay on the subject and interviews with seven sculptures involved with this development.
