- Hepworth’s Progeny: Generations of Women in Sculpture in Britain - Lives, Work, Careers and Social Change 1960-2021
From September 2021, The Hepworth Wakefield is hosting a year-long research project, in collaboration with art historian Griselda Pollock and sculptor Lorna Green, titled Hepworth’s Progeny: Generations of Women in Sculpture in Britain - Lives, Work, Careers and Social Change 1960-2021.
The Hepworth Wakefield, working with Yorkshire based curatorial researchers Dr Anna Frances Douglas and Dr Kerry Harker, will revisit and take forward Lorna Green’s study, completed in 1989, of 249 women working in the expanding field of sculpture.
Working with questionnaires initially submitted by 249 participants, the researchers are analysing these responses in order to generate a comparative study, recruiting a new cohort of contemporary women sculptors working in Britain today.
The ambition of this new feminist research project, which acknowledges the entanglements of age, class, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, neurosensory diversity and other factors, is to study how the conditions that shape women’s creative lives and aesthetic choices have shifted over the last 30 years. The research will also touch on changes in the situation for funding, display and critical reception of art by women.
This exciting project will generate new narratives around women’s experiences in art. It will inform an exhibition and events programme and aims to instigate a new network of women practicing in sculpture.
The research is funded by a donation from the Holberg Prize awarded to Professor Griselda Pollock in 2020 for her work in feminist studies in the visual arts and art history, and to foster extended research in this field.
The project will be guided by an Advisory Board of Griselda Pollock, Lorna Green, The Hepworth Wakefield’s curator Eleanor Clayton, sculptors Sokari Douglas Camp and Jill McKnight, and independent art historian Dr. Alice Correia.
