'Dancer After Degas II' draws on a theme that the British-American sculptor William Tucker has revisited repeatedly throughout his career, in both sculpture and drawing. This monumental bronze, installed in Edinburgh Park in Edinburgh, UK, evolved from a smaller work he produced in silver in 2002.
The piece captures abstracted figurative elements of dancers in motion and takes inspiration from Edgar Degas’s celebrated studies of ballet. Rising to four metres in height, the sculpture invites viewers to respond physically to its mass and volume.
