William Tucker maintains an important position in contemporary sculpture, continuing to explore the meaning and role of the sculptural object from the broader perspective of developments since the late 19th Century. Since leaving his native England for New York in 1978 Tucker has re-evaluated traditional subject matter, such as the human form and the horse head, and revived the practice of sculpting in plaster in the manner of Rodin. His works explore mass, surface and movement in an abstracted treatment of the figure.
In 1974, Tucker published The Language of Sculpture, an influential discussion of the discipline and widely used reference. His work is represented in the permanent collections of many museums, among them the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Tate Gallery in London, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.
