Author Information

Pauline Rose is a specialist in British sculpture. She has published extensively on Henry Moore, including her 2014 book Henry Moore in America: Art, Business and the Special Relationship, essays for the J. Paul Getty Museum, Tate Britain and The Sculpture Journal. However as the discipline of art history tends to prioritise innovation many women and male sculptors remain largely forgotten. This provides an extensive and fascinating 'other story' which Pauline Rose is now linking to the relationship between sculpture and decorative carving through research into the impressive furnishings and sculptural artefacts to be found in West Country churches.
