Anthony Pryor : Sculpture and Drawings 1974-1991

This is a story of the remarkable achievements of a gifted young sculptor who did not live to see his last major work, the 19-metre high sculpture The Legend, installed at the entrance to the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Multi-authored, the book offers essays on the various aspects of his career.

Writers include Joannna Capon, Judith Trimble, Daryl Jackson and others.

The more than 200 photographs, including photographic essays by John Gollings and Viki Petherbridge, cover almost the complete oeuvre, with the sculptures photographed in Pryor's studio, in art galleries and the public spaces where they are installed.

Many are captured from several angles. Anthony Pryor's life and works provide a role model for young people with ambitions in the creative arts.
