Note du spécialiste


We are grateful to Dr Sophie Bowness for her assistance with the cataloguing apparatus for this work. Dr Sophie Bowness is preparing the revised catalogue raisonné of Hepworth’s sculpture.

‘All my sculpture comes out of a landscape - the feel of the earth as one walks over it, the resistance, the weathering, the outcrops, the growth structures - no sculpture really lives until it goes back to the landscape, the trees, air and clouds … Sculpture will never be a real part of our lives until this natural unity occurs again.’
Barbara Hepworth
