Barbara Hepworth: Strings

Piano Nobile is delighted to present a short film to accompany the gallery’s current exhibition Barbara Hepworth: Strings. The film features curator Michael Regan, art historian Dr Stephen Feeke and Eleanor Clayton, the Head of Collections and Exhibitions at The Hepworth Wakefield. They discuss Hepworth's contribution to the modernist movement, how important a role string played in her sculptural language from 1939 onwards, and how she understood its meaning in her practice.
