Welcome to the Glasgow - City of Sculpture website.
|
|
|
I hope you enjoy discovering and exploring the sculptural and architectural treasures of Scotland's largest city. The website represents the culmination of more than twenty years of original research into the specialized subject of the History of Public and Architectural Sculpture of Glasgow. It covers over four centuries of sculptural work, with a wealth of material from the 'golden age' of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as well as a host of work created in more recent times.
The website is now the most important resource available on the lives and work of the Sculptors, Carvers, Architects, Builders and Foundries who have contributed to making Glasgow a great and internationally renowned City of Sculpture.
Numbering over 300 biographies, these are lavishly illustrated with images of the sculpture and buildings they produced, together with portraits of the artists themselves where available. Please bookmark this page so you can return to it later as the existing biographies are constantly being updated and new pages and images added.

Gary Nisbet's site is one of the best sculptors' biography sites I have
seen on the web. I wish other cities had the foresight to do the same.
Gary's research and Tim Gardner's web skills are producing an outstanding
resource!
