The National Gallery of Australia s collection boasts many intriguing soft sculptures dating from 1920 to the twenty-first century and made in Europe America Australia and Asia. Several works have rarely been displayed before. Others are great favourites and may change as we see them in a new context. This publication and the website for Soft sculpture softsculpture will ensure the works reach new audiences. The Gallery s commitment to the medium of sculpture is evident in this project.
