This workshop hosted by the Hepworth Research Networked focused specifically on the visual record of her sculptures that Barbara Hepworth retained.
Bringing together a range of experts on photography and sculpture from the fields of academia and practice, it examined the photographs in the record books as objects in their own right, exploring their own material qualities and also their connections to the wider dissemination of Hepworth’s sculptural practice in two rather than three dimensions. The workshop also looked at Hepworth’s engagement with photography more broadly, and what can be learnt from the many studio photographs that document her practice.
