Talk:Barbara Hepworth

Untitled
Barbara Hepworth was a key figure in the abstract movement in Britain. Her adherence to abstraction was lifelong and drew on geometric as well as organic shapes. It was she who introduced into England the idea of piercing the solid mass of sculpture with a "hole," making the object more transparent. This concept influenced the future work of Henry Moore, among others. In time, Hepworth's use of this technique grew more complex as she stretched the hole into oval and spiral shapes. She Loved art and made it fun for herself she liked to make her sculpture's out of wood, stone and plaster. She liked sculptures with holes in them

Single Form
"One of her most prestigious works is Single Form[3], in memory of her friend and collector of her works Dag Hammarskjöld, at the United Nations building in New York City. It was commissioned in 1961 by the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Foundation following Hammarskjöld's death in a plane crash."

This work is in Battersea Park in London. The one in London could be a copy or the original moved.

chronology?
I have a lot of questions about this article. The chronology is hard to follow. Also, the dates and the footnotes need to be checked. There are missing citations. Some of the sections need to be 'unpacked' for clarity, and their critical points better supported.Sicklemoon (talk) 17:00, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
