"Light and space are the sculptor's materials as much as wood or stone." —Barbara Hepworth
Swipe to see how this sculpture by Barbara Hepworth transforms in different times of day.
Hepworth was a leading Modernist sculptor, one of the first sculptors to abandon the convention of the single, unified sculptural form. She often pierced her works, opening them up to light and space, and created sculptures composed of multiple elements.
This work is almost 9 feet tall. It plays with positive and negative space, and the interaction of light on its surface is just as important as the form itself.
