Barbara Hepworth: The Plasters The Gift to Wakefield

This ground-breaking publication combines a fully illustrated catalogue of the sculptor’s surviving prototypes in plaster, and occasionally aluminium, with a detailed analysis of her working methods and a comprehensive history of her work in bronze. In addition, insights into the building which is home to the collection are provided through essays exploring the history of The Hepworth and, in a contribution by David Chipperfield, the design of the new museum by his architectural practice.
