Michael Kenny was one of the most influential British sculptors of his generation and his contemplative geometric stone works have become increasingly well-regarded. He was elected Associate of the Royal Academy in 1976, and a Royal Academician in 1986. Throughout the 70’s he was the visiting lecturer at the Slade School of Fine Art and from 1983 to 1988 he was Head of Fine Art Department at Goldsmiths College London. Today his work is held in museums all over the world, including the British Museum, The Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
