Designed to coincide with an exhibition of the same name at Bath’s Holburne Museum, this short book opens our eyes to the virtues, power and peculiarities of the sculpted portrait. From the monuments of the ancient world, through the waxwork museum, to the work of major contemporary artists such as Jeff Koons, Ron Mueck and Marc Quinn, Presence offers a chance to look again at this fascinating but curiously overlooked genre.
