Description
General view; During this period her work became more geometric, harder and less human in its appeal, as in works of the mid-1960s such as Marble with Colour (Crete) (Rotterdam, Boymans-van Beuningen). Partly because of the increased pressure of public commissions, she worked increasingly in bronze. In the 1960s she acquired a much more spacious studio in St Ives, which made it easier for her to produce work on a larger scale. This is BH 304, edition of 7, casts at The British Library; Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal; Aberdeen Art Gallery; Rijksmuseum Kröller-Müller, Otterlo; Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, University of California, Los Angeles; The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/ (accessed 6/12/2009)
