the
sculpture agency was established in 2009 by Tom Flynn as
a means of promoting contemporary sculpture to as wide an
audience as possible.
Tom has written extensively on
sculpture and contemporary art, liaising closely with artists to
gain a thorough understanding of their work. He is the author of
a number of books and numerous exhibition catalogues and lectures internationally on
sculpture and contemporary art, the art market, the history of
museums, art crime and provenance issues in cultural heritage.
Tom founded the sculpture agency
as a dedicated consultancy to advise private collectors,
corporations and public bodies on all aspects of art acquisition
and art investment.

The Body in Sculpture
(Everyman Art Library, Weidenfeld & Nicolson), 1998
(Published in US by Abrams as The Body in Three Dimensions)
by Tom
Flynn
"A
highly original, deft and compelling account of the history of
sculpted representations of the human body. Its broad sweep from
prehistory to post modernism incorporates both the great
achievements of such sculptors as Donatello, Michelangelo,
Canova and Brancusi, and those shadier representations of the
body which Tom Flynn convincingly identifies as sculpture's
doppelgänger,from waxworks to cyborgs. Illustrated with over 110
carefully chosen pictures, this is a genuinely important
contribution to the general literature of sculpture."

"These
innovative theoretical analyses have opened up new approaches to
how we should display colonial objects in a post-colonial world.
Drawing together an international group of scholars from a
variety of disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, Colonialism
and the Object includes intensive case studies of objects
from India, Pakistan, New Zealand, China and Africa, all of
which were collected by or exhibited in the institutions of the
British Empire. Other chapters address issues of racial identity
across cultural barriers, and the hybrid styles of objects which
can emerge when cultures meet."
