Barbara Hepworth

Artist: Barbara Hepworth
Author: Herbert Read
Publisher: Lund Humphries
Publication date: 1952

This important early book on Barbara Hepworth by the great critic and friend Herbert Read is still a key text for anyone seriously interested in her work. By the publishing standards of the day, this was a particularly lavish production and the photography, often taken immediately after the sculptures were completed, is extremely informative on how pieces have aged. This book documents very well the early career of Britain’s greatest female 
sculptor – there would be much more to come in the following years too!

This copy, with the original colour dust jacket protected by glassine, is, apart from a few handling and shelf marks, in very good condition for its age.
