K.S. Radhakrishnan : Book On Sculptor
R. Shivakumar
This is a book about a sculptor who has done a body of engaging works and beckons our attention. An arrival does not carry a conclusion, an assurance that things will remain much the same henceforth, a promise that we will see restatements, elaborations, refinements but no more radical change. This book exhaustively illustrated with beautifully shot photographs by well known photographers and accompanied by an insightful text by R. Siva Kumar, brings into focus, Rakhakrishnan's work of the last 20 years.
