| book description |

Barbara Hepworth: Strings is the first publication dedicated to the artistâ€™s stringed sculptures, paintings and drawings. In 1939, Hepworth (1903â€“1975) made her first sculpture threaded with strings. For the rest of her career, she intermittently combined string with works made from plaster, wood, metal and stone. These were some of her most personally distinctive artistic achievements. Coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of the artistâ€™s death, Barbara Hepworth: Strings provides for the first time a comprehensive thematic account of string in the artistâ€™s work, exploring the different ways that she used it and the symbolism she invested it with. This publication includes a fully-illustrated catalogue of Piano Nobileâ€™s accompanying exhibition. It features essays by some of the leading specialists on Hepworthâ€™s work. The exhibition co-curator Michael Regan offers a personal response to the stringed sculptures and considers their affective quality. In his essay, Dr Stephen Feeke explores fresh perspectives and previously unpublished source materials relating to Hepworth and string. A further text by Eleanor Clayton, senior curator at The Hepworth Wakefield, gives a close reading of the most significant stringed works including the artistâ€™s celebrated commission for John Lewisâ€™s flagship store on Oxford Street. The book also includes a comprehensive, illustrated list of Hepworthâ€™s stringed sculptures.
