In Barbara Hepworth: Sculpture for a Modern World, her career is mapped out step by step, from her early days as an artist in the 1920s to her period as an internationally-famed sculptor towards the end of her life. Sculptures from wood, marble, and bronze – all unique thanks to the incredible craftsmanship with which they are made – are alternated with paintings, drawings, film footage and photographs of Barbara Hepworth at work in her studio or amidst friends.
The exhibition shows how Hepworth developed her own unmistakeable 'signature,' drawing inspiration from shapes and forms in nature, sometimes figurative, sometime abstract. Her style was of great significance and influence for the world of modern sculpture.
