Barbara Hepworth Sold at Auction Prices

Stone sculptor, Wood Sculptor, Sculptor, b. 1903 - d. 1975

Artist Barbara Hepworth was a driving force in the modern sculpture movement. Hepworth was born in England in 1903, and she studied art at Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art. Afterward, she traveled to Italy where she learned stone carving; at that time, this was an unconventional course of study for a sculptor. Barbara Hepworth's sculpture work continued to take unexpected paths as she pioneered abstract carved pieces in unorthodox materials like stone and wood. 

In addition to her work in sculpture, Barbara Hepworth also produced a series of successful figure drawings after World War II. These prints for sale by Barbara Hepworth were warmly received as some of her most accessible work. However, in her later years, Hepworth returned to abstract sculpture, displaying her multi-sculpture pieces in a garden, symbolic of man's relationship with nature. Abstract enthusiasts will find unique modern sculpture for sale at Invaluable.

    λ DAME BARBARA HEPWORTH (BRITISH 1903-1975)SMALL FORM (TRINK)Grey stoneHeight (excluding base): 19cm (7¼ in.)Executed in 1959, this work is unique.Provenance:London, Gimpel Fils, 1963Irving Levick, Buffalo, USABohun Gallery, Henley-on-ThamesAcquired from the above in 1998Literature:Joseph Paul Hodin & Alan Bowness, Barbara Hepworth, Neuchatel, 1961, no. 267A.M. Hammacher, Barbara Hepworth, Thames & Hudson, 1968, p. 134, no. 111 (illustrated) This work will be included in the revised Catalogue Raisonné of Barbara Hepworth's sculpture being prepared by Dr. Sophie Bowness under the catalogue no. BH 267.Carving to me is more interesting than modelling because there is an unlimited variety of materials from which to draw inspiration. Each material demands a particular treatment and there are an infinite number of subjects in life each to be recreated in a particular material. In fact, it would be possible to carve the same subject in a different stone each time, throughout life, without a repetition of form(The Architectural Association Journal, Contemporary English Sculptors, London, Vol XLV, no.518, April 1930, p.14). Barbara Hepworth returned to direct carving on an intimate scale in 1959 after almost a decade focused on bronze casting and monumental public sculptures. From the earliest stages of her career, she had a deeply rooted passion for this process. Along with other young sculptors such as Henry Moore and John Skeaping, she explored this ancient discipline of directly carving into the stone or wooden block. Inspired by the work of Amedeo Modigliani and Constantin Brancusi, they embraced the qualities of the material, synthesising the physical matter with the wilful hand of the sculptor. In the early 1930s these concerns were combined with a cleaner, purer Modernism. Born out of Cubism and Neo-Plasticism , with a knowledge of artists such as Naum Gabo and Maholy-Nagy, Hepworth embraced this new language and artistic movements from Paris and the Continent.Forced to leave London at the outbreak of the Second World War, she and Ben Nicholson relocated to St Ives in Cornwall. The wild and unspoilt landscape with its mysterious Stone Age barrows and standing stones, the craggy coves with golden sands and powerful Atlantic squalls, moved Hepworth and inspired her to take these physical experiences of the Cornish landscape, believing that From the sculptor's point of view one can either be the spectator or the object itself. For a few years I became the object. I was the figure in the landscape and every sculpture contained to a greater or lesser degree the ever-changing forms and contours embodying my own response to a given position in that landscape.... this transmutation of essential unity with land and seascape, which derives from all the sensibilities, was for me a voyage of exploration. A sculpture might, and sculptures do, reside in emptiness; but nothing happens until the living human encounters the image. The magic occurs - the magic of scale and weight, form and texture, colour and movement, the encircling interplay and dance occurs between the object and the human sensibilities.(H.Read, Barbara Hepworth, Carvings and Drawings, London, 1952).The title of the present work, Small Form (Trink), makes reference to a hill just south of St Ives boasting an ancient barrow and standing stones on its slopes. Hepworth has taken inspiration from this location and distilled her response to moving through and over the landscape, creating a beautifully tactile, timeless sculpture that feels ancient in conception yet modern in appearance. It embodies the natural world but is unmistakenly shaped by the sculptor's hand. It references her geographical surroundings yet symbolises something more collective and international. From this small corner of England Hepworth has created a sculpture of universal beauty that speaks as much about ancient Greece, Italy or China as it does about England. David Lewis, a studio assistant and lifelong friend of Hepworth remembered that, She sometimes spoke of herself as being landscape. She saw life as the seasons, as birth, motherhood, maturity and death; in her studio she listened to Bach; in the dales of Yorkshire and the moors and seascapes of the Penwith peninsula of Cornwall, she perceived the repetitive rhythms of nature and in winds, sea surges and the stars at night she saw rhythms of eternity.

    λ DAME BARBARA HEPWORTH (BRITISH 1903-1975)THEATRE SISTER Red chalkSigned and dated 1948 (lower right)33 x 24.5cm (12 x 9½ in.)Provenance: Hertfordshire County Council Collection Sale, Cheffins, Cambridge, The Curated Eye, Selected Works from Hertfordshire County Council, 21 March 2019, lot 113Literature: Nathaniel Hepburn, The Hospital Drawings, printed on the occasion of the exhibition at The Hepworth, Wakefield, Tate Publishing, 2012, p.64 Between 1947 and 1949, Hepworth produced a series of about 80 paintings and drawings capturing surgical teams at work at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital, Exeter, The National Orthopaedic Hospital, London and the London Clinic. The series was the result of a friendship between Hepworth and her husband Ben Nicholson with Norman Capener, the surgeon who treated their daughter, Sarah, for osteomyelitis. Through Capener, Hepworth met the ENT specialist Edward Garnet Passe who also allowed Hepworth access to the operating theatre. As Hepworth recorded in a lecture to a group of surgeons in Exeter in c.1953, she was only allowed a small notebook and pen or pencil and so she had to train herself to note 'only the most important things and to memorise the entire structure' to work up afterwards into her more finished works. Hepworth was fascinated not only by the 'extraordinary beauty of purpose and co-ordination between human beings all dedicated to the saving of human life' (Barbara Hepworth, Carvings and Drawings, London, 1952, ch. 5) but also by the dexterity and precision needed by the surgical team and the similarity between their movement and that required to paint or sculpt. The series range from depictions of groups of surgical teams at work, to contemplative studies of single figures, such as the present drawing. It is particularly interesting to note that the present drawing dates from the year that the National Health Service was founded.

    Est: €2,400 -

    British Post War Barbara Hepworth Winter Solstice. 1971. In: The sculpture of Barbara Hepworth 1960-69. Farbserigraphie auf festem Velin. 23,5 x 20,5 cm (29 x 24 cm). Signiert und nummeriert. - Einige wenige winzige, punktuelle Fleckchen. Insgesamt sehr gut. Ausgesprochen schönes Blatt mit zart nuanciertem Druck, die Farbe virbrierend und frisch. - Eines von 150 Exemplaren. - Hg. Praeger Publishers, New York 1971. - Zentraler Beitrag Hepworths aus ihrer graphischen Serie "Opposing Forms", in der sie ihr bildhauerisches Denken in die Fläche überträgt. Der Siebdruck verbindet geometrische Präzision mit organischem Fluss und reflektiert zentrale Themen ihres Ouvres: Licht, Raum und natürliche Rhythmen. Der Titel verweist auf die Wintersonnenwende und symbolisiert zyklische Erneuerung, was Hepworth hier mit einer reduzierten Palette aus kühlen, fein ausdifferenzierten Farben wiedergibt. Mit technischer Klarheit und ästhetischer Ausgewogenheit gelingt es ihr, die räumliche Spannung ihrer Skulpturen so in die Zweidimensionalität zu übersetzen, dass sich über die graphische Komposition ein neuer Zugang zu ihrem plastischen Werk eröffnet. Colour silkscreen on firm wove paper. Signed and numbered. - A few tiny, pinpoint stains. Overall very good. Exceptionally fine sheet with delicately nuanced impression, the colour vibrant and fresh. - One of 150 copies. - Ed. Praeger Publishers, New York 1971. - Hepworth's central contribution from her graphic series "Opposing Forms", in which she transfers her sculptural thinking to the surface. The silkscreen combines geometric precision with organic flow and reflects central themes of her oeuvre: light, space and natural rhythms. The title refers to the winter solstice and symbolises cyclical renewal, which Hepworth reproduces here with a reduced palette of cool, finely differentiated colours. With technical clarity and aesthetic balance, she succeeds in translating the spatial tension of her sculptures into two-dimensionality in such a way that the graphic composition opens up a new approach to her sculptural work. 2400
