| book description |

Celebrating the generous gift of Barbara Hepworthâ€™s plasters to The Hepworth Wakefield by the Hepworth Estate, this groundbreaking publication, amended to bring the story up-to-date, combines a fully illustrated catalogue of the sculptorâ€™s surviving prototypes in plaster, and occasionally aluminium, with a detailed analysis of her working methods and a comprehensive history of her work in bronze. In addition, insights into the building which is home to the collection are provided through essays exploring the history of The Hepworth and, in a contribution by David Chipperfield, the design of the museum by his architectural practice. A fascinating account of the sculptorâ€™s connections with Wakefield Art Gallery also features. The Hepworthâ€™s collection of over forty unique, unknown sculptures are the surviving working models from which editions of bronzes were cast. They range in size from works that can be held in the hand to monumental sculptures, including the Winged Figure for John Lewisâ€™s Oxford Street headquarters. The majority are original plasters on which the artist worked with her own hands and to scale. Providing a unique insight into Hepworthâ€™s working processes, on which little has been written, Barbara Hepworth: The Plasters enhances appreciation of her work as a whole. Drawing extensively on archival records and photographs, this publication is an important source for information about a significant collection of work, the gallery which houses it and Hepworth in general.
