Barbara Hepworth: The Plasters by Sophie Bowness
Celebrating the generous gift of Barbara Hepworth's plasters to The Hepworth Wakefield by the Hepworth Estate, this publication combines a fully illustrated catalogue of the sculptor's surviving prototypes in plaster with a detailed analysis of her working methods and a comprehensive history of her work in bronze.
Bowness's essay gives much-needed attention to Hepworth's studio practice, as well as to her relations with foundries, and details the evolutions of her public commissions' The Times Literary Supplement
