A robust and poetic work of art (that) stands at the thrilling edge where culture meets nature\" - Mel Gooding  Much has been said and written about Maggi Hambling's Scallop on Aldeburgh beach. Here is the artist's own story, told as it happened, with interpolations by some of those who supported (and some who didn't) her exhilarating and provocative sculpture to Benjamin Britten, one of Britain's most exalted composers.  Maggi Hambling traces her love of the sea back to earliest childhood and records how this lifelong passion has fired her work, culminating in the construction of a 15ft high, six-and-a-half ton stainless steel sculpture rising out of the shingle on Aldeburgh beach. Children love it. Lovers love it. Those paying tribute to lost loved ones gather around it. And there are those who would wish it melted down or carted away. The artist, and those nearest the action, tell the fascinating story of its conception, official acceptance and construction, and the unholy row that erupted after it was finally unveiled.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49730105966865,"sku":"NGR9780957152830","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50471770063121,"sku":"GOR008315824","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50921125708049,"sku":"GOR009131626","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0957152833.jpg?v=1751330932"},{"product_id":"maggi-hambling-war-requiem-aftermath-book-maggi-hambling-9781910065228","title":"Maggi Hambling War Requiem \u0026 Aftermath","description":"War Requiem is a new publication dedicated to a major installation by the British artist Maggi Hambling, first exhibited in 2013 and including an extensive body of paintings of battlefields and war victims.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49994826055953,"sku":"GOR007449077","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53360745677073,"sku":"GOR011887720","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1910065226.jpg?v=1751187685"},{"product_id":"maggi-and-henrietta-book-maggi-hambling-9780747555896","title":"Maggi and Henrietta","description":"Henrietta Moraes was a muse, writer and considered a Queen of Bohemia.

In a series of frank conversations with Andrew Lambirth, Hambling surveys her innovative and often controversial output as painter and sculptor.\" \"Public recognition came in 1980 when she was chosen as the first Artist in Residence at the National Gallery. Later, through her idiosyncratic appearances on Channel 4's cult television art quiz 'Gallery', chaired by George Melly, Hambling became visible to a wider audience. Prolific and unafraid of confrontation, Hambling has followed the dictates of a demanding muse, rather than pandering to the conventions of the art world. Her work engages profoundly with the condition in images of tough but lyrical figuration highly appropriate for a new century.\"--BOOK JACKET.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50621657710865,"sku":"GOR002427118","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50914650849553,"sku":"GOR008275893","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53194955850001,"sku":"GOR007472681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0906290848.jpg?v=1750915733"},{"product_id":"max-wall-book-maggi-hambling-9780904017496","title":"Max Wall","description":"Published for the exhibition held at the National Portrait Gallery, this catalogue shows the results of a unique collaboration between one of our most talented artists and a celebrated actor and comedian.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51682303574289,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51682304557329,"sku":"GOR014352780","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0904017494.jpg?v=1751298779"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-maggi-hambling.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
