Configuration (Phira) - Barbara Hepworth
In January 2022 I visited a special exhibition of Barbara Hepworth's work at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield.
This brought together the Gallery's own Hepworth works and others loaned from elsewhere.
This 1955 piece in Guarea wood and was inspired by a visit to Greece following the death of Hepworth's eldest son Paul Skeaping. She noted "Timeless and in space, pure in conception and like a rock to hold on to, these forms in Greece have been a constant source or inspiration". Phira is the capital of Santorini.
