"Moving Sculptures is an impressive and much-needed book. It addresses a great number of concerns that have become central to the discipline: the materiality of artworks, the art market, the consequences of the Reformation for the visual arts, concepts of civic and courtly identity and their markers, and many others. Lipiskas book also manages to offer a concentrated overview of Netherlandish antique sculpture, its main genres, and its chief practitioners. Ethan Matt Kavaler, University of Toronto
"This English re-edition of Aleksandra Lipinskas study on Southern Netherlandish alabasters most definitely fills an important gap in the research on Flemish sculpture and its dissemination in Europe." "..., Lipinskas excellent, broad-ranging study provides a perfect stimulus for further research into the consumption of these exquisite works of art in the broader patrician circles of Central and Northern Europe." Valerie Herremans, Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen
"Lipinskas Moving Sculptures is beautifully researched, lucidly argued, and wonderfully informative. It should appeal to any scholar interested in the history of materials, the methods of artistic production, the rise of early modern art markets, and the aesthetics of taste and reception. Lipinska includes a small selection of relevant letters and other documents. Her superb English-language edition deserves a wide audience." Jeffrey Chipps Smith, University of Texas at Austin
