Collection: Richard Deacon

Richard Deacon (born 1949) is a Welsh sculptor whose fabricated works in steel, wood, laminate, and ceramics are characterised by their attention to process, surface, and the poetics of making. A central figure in the resurgence of British sculpture in the 1980s, he won the Turner Prize in 1987. His work has been shown at major institutions internationally, including retrospectives at the Tate and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and he was elected a Royal Academician in 1998.
