With its natural beauty, distinctiveness, and warmth, Florida has attracted an abundance of artists for centuries. While fine art painters have been featured in books about the state, little has been written about the sculptors who have adopted it. To remedy this, Florida Sculptors and Their Work: 1880-2020 is a tribute to these diverse artists.

    Organized geographically, from the First Coast and the Panhandle to central Florida and the Gulf Coast, and from the Surf Coast and Treasure Coast to the Gold Coast and the Keys
  • Discover how Florida has inspired such world-renowned artists as Augusta Savage, Duane Hanson, Richard Anuszkiewicz, John Chamberlain, Robert Rauschenberg and others

Capturing the Sunshine State's essence, this well-researched and generously illustrated volume tells the fascinating stories of these creative people and reveals secrets behind their three-dimensional art--from realistic to abstract to folk art. This indispensable resource is a must-have for those interested in Florida's art, history, and culture.

Praise for this book

Deborah Pollack brings to light the breadth and depth of sculptural artistry across the state of Florida in this diligently researched and lavishly illustrated book. Organized geographically with concise, well-crafted biographies, Florida Sculptors and Their Work: 1880-2020 reads as a treasure map across the State, revealing the phenomenal abundance of artists--women and men--who lived, worked, and were inspired by the scenic beauty in the South. This much-needed and important contribution to the history of art pays homage to Florida and highlights the public and private collections in which these sculptures can be found. Capitalizing on a vast array of media, subject matter, and scale, Pollack has masterfully produced a unified and thoroughly engaging narrative.
--Nancy Siegel, Professor of Art History, Towson University
Finally, there's a definitive and captivating book on the colorful history and ongoing creative activities of Florida's remarkably talented artists-in-residence who produce their art in a three-dimensional context within the borders of the Sunshine State. Deborah Pollack proves once again to be a sophisticated documentarian on an important and intriguing subject that has been overlooked until now. A thoroughly professional arts writer, Pollack combines her perceptive skills in research with her impressive experience as an author and historian, providing readers with a comprehensive and exciting overview of Florida sculptors.--Bruce Helander, member of the Florida Artists Hall of Fame, former White House Fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and contributor to The Huffington Post and The New Yorker
Florida's salubrious climate has long created a mecca for artists. Much has been written extolling the creations of painters. At last, sculptors are getting their day in the sun, thanks to the scholarship and research of art detective extraordinaire Deborah Pollack.
--Robert W. Harper, former executive director of the Lightner Museum, Saint Augustine, Florida
Deborah Pollack's compendium about Florida's sculptors is an impressive achievement written in a crisp manner that includes abundant biographical information and occasional anecdotes. Arranged geographically, each of the seven chapters is introduced by informative contextual paragraphs. Profusely illustrated, the volume demonstrates a broad diversity of styles, mediums, and subjects created by internationally recognized artists and ones who are less well known.
--Martha R. Severens, curator, Greenville County Museum of Art, 1992-2010
