A new Historic England pieces, which should demonstrate the value of such exhibition at Somerset House aims to change that by art to councils and developers. “There are sculptors highlighting exceptional public work created between like Anthony Gormley who would love more public 1945 and 1985 by artists like Barbara Hepworth, platforms if the commissions were there,” notes Sarah. Henry Moore, Geoffrey Clarke and Elisabeth Frink – much of which has since disappeared, explains She hopes the exhibition, which features drawings, curator Sarah Gaventa. maquettes, letters and photographs as well as large- scale pieces, opens our eyes to such art. “There’s “We’re desperately trying to track these pieces down, a Barbara Hepworth Winged Figure off Oxford and leads are still coming in. There’s actually a wall Street ignored by a million people every day. Let’s in the exhibition with descriptions of lost art, like the appreciate how much this work enriches our lives, missing cat posters stuck on trees.

The generation that went to war against the Nazis lost a great many of their buildings – their homes and workplaces, as well as their monuments, sculptures and works of art. They had to rebuild and reshape their England. They did a remarkable job. They rebuilt ravaged cities and towns, and they built new institutions. From the National Health Service to the Arts Council, they wanted access-for-all to fundamental aspects of modern human life. And part of their vision was to create new public spaces that would raise the spirits. The wave of public art that emerged has shaped the England we live in, and it has shaped us.

    PANGOLIN GEOFFREY CLARKE A DECADE OF CHANGE LONDON 1 INTRODUCTION Geoffrey Clarke was a pioneer in a golden age of British sculpture. A pioneer because of his fearless experimentation with new materials and processes and a golden age because sculpture in Post-War Britain had never been so exciting. Not only had Henry Moore successfully established an international platform for British sculptors, but there was an important step change in the approach to new materials; an abundance of top quality sculpture exhibitions and a bountiful wave of public commissions, all of which proved the perfect melting pot for sculpture. With an artist’s natural inquisitiveness Geoffrey Clarke adapted his working methods to accommodate new projects and ideas, tirelessly exploring a broad range of materials and perfecting new techniques. As this exhibition highlights, Clarke never lost sight of his visual language despite experiments in scale or material, rather his carefully considered line, bold form and delicate surface textures were the constant whatever the medium. As one of the last remaining artists from the eminent group of young sculptors that exploded on to the scene at the 1952 Venice Biennale, we are honoured to host this exhibition. It is as a celebration of an immensely fertile period in Geoffrey Clarke’s oeuvre and we hope that it brings to life the sculptural zeitgeist that influenced a momentous age.

  • ROBERT ADAMS (British, 1917-1984)
    ROBERT ADAMS (British, 1917-1984) “I am concerned with energy, a physical property inherent in metal, [and] in contrasts between linear forces and masses, between solid and open areas … the aim is stability and movement in one form.” (R. Adams, 1966, quoted in A. Grieve, 1992, pp. 109-111) Robert Adams was born in Northampton, England, in October 1917. He has been called “the neglected genius of post-war British sculpture” by critics. In 1937, Adams began attending evening classes in life drawing and painting at the Northampton School of Art. Some of Adam’s first-ever sculptures were also exhibited in London between 1942 and 1944 as part of a series of art shows for artists working in the Civil Defence, which Adams joined during the Second World War. He followed this with his first one-man exhibition at Gimpel Fils Gallery, London, in 1947, before starting a 10-year teaching career in 1949 at the Central School of Art and Design in London. It was during this time that Adams connected with a group of abstract painters – importantly Victor Pasmore, Adrian Heath and Kenneth and Mary Martin – finding a mutual interest in Constructivist aesthetics and in capturing movement. In 1948, Adams’ stylistic move towards abstraction was further developed when he visited Paris and seeing the sculpture of Pablo Picasso, Julio Gonzales, Constantine Brancusi and Henry Laurens. As such, Adams’ affiliation with his fellow English carvers, such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, extended only as far as an initial desire to carve in stone and wood. Unlike his contemporaries, Adams did not appear to show much interest in the exploration of the human form or its relationship to the landscape.
