Eva Rothschild at The Hepworth, Wakefield

Eventually managed to get to The Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield. Now been open for a couple of months, it displays the beautiful sculpture work of Barbara Hepworth. It is a vast contemporary gallery located in Wakefield, West Yorkshire with very similar architectual qualities of London galleries such as Tate Modern and The Hayward.

Eva Rothschild, a sculptor who I have researched many times for my personal work is currently showing in three of the gallery rooms. All very large pieces, they work with and against the contours of the given space. The pictured piece is one of my favourites - automatically thinking of jewellery and how it could be worn on the body.
