The Plasters - The Gift to Wakefield
Paperback
Publication Date: 29/05/2015
Newly published in paperback to coincide with the Barbara Hepworth retrospective exhibition at Tate Britain in 2015, this fascinating book combines a fully illustrated catalogue of the sculptor's surviving prototypes in plaster (and a number also in aluminium and wood), generously gifted to The Hepworth Wakefield by the Hepworth Estate, with a detailed analysis of her working methods and a comprehensive history of her work in bronze. Drawing extensively on archival records and photographs, the publication is an important source of information about a significant collection of work, the gallery which houses it and Hepworth in general. It provides a much-needed account of Hepworth's studio practice, her relations with foundries, and the evolution of her public commissions.
