Richard Wentworth

Richard Wentworth

Has played a large role in New British Sculpture since the 1970's. His work circles the idea of objects and their use, a part of our every-day experience. He has steered away from the traditional notion of sculpture, as well as photography. Transforming and manipulating objects into another work of art, converting (subverting?) their original function, breaking their conventional use/classification. The sculptural arrangements play with the notion of the ready-made and the juxtaposition go objects that carry no relation to one another. 


Making Do and Getting By

Ongoing photographic series, documenting the everyday. Paying attention to objects, placement and geometry, with occasional placement and uncanny situations that often go unnoticed.
