Artist Information 

Richard Wentworth is a chronicler of daily life. Since the 1970s he has played a leading role in British sculpture, isolating both the formal and sculptural qualities of everyday objects. His enormous archive of photographs, ‘Making Do and Getting By’ (1974 onwards), captures the provisional ways in which people modify the world they inhabit. By excavating history and looking closely at the material ‘now’, Wentworth collates and assembles a vivacious archaeology of the world we live in. He reveals that which is curious, ironic, poetic and slight amidst the clutter of daily living.

In 2002 Wentworth worked with Artangel at King’s Cross, London, to make An Area of Outstanding Unnatural Beauty. In 2005, Tate Liverpool presented a comprehensive exhibition including works such as False Ceiling, 1995 and Mirror Mirror, 2003. His botanical guide, using enamel signs, at the 2008 Folkestone Triennial was a major contribution to the project. His ‘Clouds Are Events, Shadows Are History’ was exhibited in Beijing as part of the Chinese government festival of exhibitions associated with the Olympics. Richard exhibited work at the 53rd Venice Biennale and in 2011 received a CBE, he is currently Professor and Head of the Royal College of Art's Sculpture Department and is represented by the Lisson Gallery, London.
