Kim Lim

Sculptor and printmaker Kim Lim (1936-1997) had a lifelong fascination with space and its relationship with two- and three-dimensions. This important new publication explores her outstanding body of work. In a series of fascinating chapters, leading art-world specialists survey the artist's rich career and legacy within the context of modern British art history. Although Lim was resistant to the notion of 'otherness', the book examines her Asian heritage and its connection to her work, and questions why she has been marginalised in the histories of British sculpture since her death. Throughout, however, it is the work - a shape-shifting oeuvre in which Lim continually probed relationships between space, light and sound - that dominates and rightfully positions the artist and her remarkable artistic achievements centre stage.
