Contrapuntal Forms being installed in The Hepworth Wakefield Garden, May 2021

Barbara Hepworth’s first public commissions were for the 1951 Festival of Britain, for which she created two large-scale sculptures – Turning Forms (1950-1) and Contrapuntal Forms (1950-1). We have reunited the sculptures for the first time in 70 years as part of the Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life exhibition.
