Forma oval con cordeles y color
Una de las mujeres escultoras más célebres de todos los tiempos, Barbara Hepworth es, junto con Henry Moore, el máximo exponente de la escultura británica del siglo XX. En el cénit de su carrera, la artista talló un enorme tronco de olmo inglés para crear Forma oval, una obra clave de su periodo de madurez. La forma ovoide es un recuerdo de su visita al taller parisino de Constantin Brancusi en 1933, que cambió su vida. Los cordeles se asocian a la obra de sus amigos Naum Gabo y László Moholy-Nagy, refugiados que se unieron al círculo de artistas británicos alrededor de Hepworth y de su marido Ben Nicholson.
