Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Subtitled "A View of Sculpture in Britain", this is a very simple idea for an exhibition. It takes 10 sculptors, each represented by one piece of work, each work representative of 10 years. The cumulative effect is a singular view of 100 years of British sculpture. As we roll towards the millennium, there are bound to be more exhibitions of this sort, but there won't be many as well chosen as this one.
The selection has been carefully thought through to present a view of the 20th century which interlinks with the history of the venue itself. The two meet in pieces such as Frank Dobson's Truth, representative of Dobson's work in the very early 1930s when he was working on a figure of Persephone for the Pavilion, and in the connection between Rachel Whiteread's holocaust-related book piece and the personal history of Erich Mendelsohn, the Pavilion's famous architect. They are joined by Epstein, Gill, Caro, Moore, Hepworth, Chadwick, and Flanagan in a small-scale show with a very broad reach.
