  • Sculptors' Jewellery Offers an Experience of Sculpture at Quite the Opposite End of the Scale
    SCULPTORS’ JEWELLERY PANGOLIN LONDON FOREWORD The gift of a piece of jewellery seems to have taken a special role in human ritual since Man’s earliest existence. In the most ancient of tombs, archaeologists invariably excavate metal or stone objects which seem to have been designed to be worn on the body. Despite the tiny scale of these precious objects, their ubiquity in all cultures would indicate that jewellery has always held great significance.Gold, silver, bronze, precious stone, ceramic and natural objects have been fashioned for millennia to decorate, embellish and adorn the human body. Jewellery has been worn as a signifier of prowess, status and wealth as well as a symbol of belonging or allegiance. Perhaps its most enduring function is as a token of love and it is mostly in this vein that a sculptor’s jewellery is made: a symbol of affection for a spouse, loved one or close friend. Over a period of several years, through trying my own hand at making rings, I have become aware of and fascinated by the jewellery of sculptors. This in turn has opened my eyes to the huge diversity of what are in effect, wearable, miniature sculptures. The materials used are generally precious in nature and the intimacy of being worn on the body marries well with the miniaturisation of form. For this exhibition Pangolin London has been fortunate in being able to collate a very special selection of works, ranging from the historical to the contemporary. To complement this, we have also actively commissioned a series of exciting new pieces from a broad spectrum of artists working today.

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.

  • Geoffrey-Clarke-Catalogue-Email.Pdf
    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.

  • Exorcising the Fear British Sculpture from the 50S & 60S
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Exorcising the Fear British Sculpture from the 50s & 60s Private View: Tuesday 10 th January, 6 – 8pm 11 th January – 3 rd March 2012 Taking the sixtieth anniversary year of the XXVI Venice Biennale of 1952 as its starting point, Exorcising the Fear will explore a pivotal point in the history of British sculpture. Returning to the essay by Herbert Read which left an indelible mark on the history of art with the phrase ‘the geometry of fear’, the exhibition aims to recapture the excitement and vitality of the moment when eight young British sculptors – Robert Adams, Kenneth Armitage, Reg Butler, Geoffrey Clarke, Lynn Chadwick, Bernard Meadows, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull - burst onto an international scene and jump started a chain reaction that brought about a crucial sculptural renaissance in the history of British sculpture, the impact of which can still be felt today. Kenneth Armitage, Model for Krefeld Monument , 1956 Pangolin London are delighted to be able to show three rare works that are particularly closely related to those exhibited at the biennale (Lynn Chadwick’s Bull Frog , Reg Butler’s Young Girl and Geoffrey Clarke’s Man ) along with a superb collection of further works chosen for their direct relationship with those on display in Venice. The exhibition will include another rare Lynn Chadwick entitled Beast , which has not been seen in public since the 1950s. The work is over two metres high and made from welded iron and glass. Other highlights in the exhibition include Eduardo Paolozzi’s 1957 bronze Frog Eating a Lizard and William Turnbull’s minimal bronze with green patina on stone base, entitled Strange Fruit .

    Handlist 74 UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS THE LIBRARY Archives of the Queen Square and Park Square Galleries, Special Collections MS 712 Part I: Collective exhibitions Mrs Sarah Gilchrist opened her commercial gallery in Queen Square, Leeds, in 1964; the enterprise flourished and she moved it to new premises in Park Square, Leeds, in 1968. She retired in 1978 though the gallery has continued under different aegis. In 1981 she was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Leeds and in the summer of 1984 through the timely intervention of Mr Stephen Chaplin of the University's Department of Fine Art, she most kindly agreed to give the accumulated archive of her galleries up to the date of her retirement to the Brotherton Library. The archive illustrates the relationship between artist and gallery, and between gallery and collector; it also illuminates taste and patronage in Yorkshire in the third quarter of the 20th century. This first part of a complete catalogue refers to collective exhibitions; further parts will deal. with one-man exhibitions, a picture lending scheme and other matters.

    Cast in a Different Light: George Fullard and John Hoskin 2013 Introduction We follow with our eyes the development of the physical fact of a clenched hand, a crossed leg, a rising breast…until at the moment of recognition we realize that all this and more lies behind and makes up the reality of one woman or child during one second of their lives. And in this human tender sense, I would say that Fullard is one of the few genuine existentialist artists of today. He opens up for us the approach to and from the moment of awareness. John Berger on George Fullard, 1958 ¹ Vital and original…being a very distinct personality, he belongs to the animistic or magical trend in the now recognisable school of English sculpture. Herbert Read on John Hoskin, 1961 ² Woman with Earrings 1959 George Fullard Pencil At first glance, the artists featured in Cast in a Different Light have a good deal in common. Born in the early 1920s, they were both on active war service (Fullard in North Africa and Italy, Hoskin in Germany) and went on to make sculpture the focus of their creative practice. During the war years and immediately after, Henry Moore’s work attracted extraordinary international critical acclaim and, along with a generation of young sculptors, Fullard and Hoskin became part of what critics called the ‘phenomenon’ of postwar British sculpture.3 Through the 1960s, they both showed in gallery exhibitions such as the Tate’s British Sculpture in the Sixties (1965) and their work reached new audiences in the Arts Council’s iconic series of open-air sculpture exhibitions which toured public spaces and municipal parks up and down the country.
