About the Item

Lynn Chadwick Study for the Watcher, 1960 Signature on front right of sheet Pencil ink wash on paper 48 x 33 cm 18.9 x 13 inches Lynn Chadwick’s angular figurative sculptures helped pioneer new approaches to the medium in the mid–20th century. Chadwick broke with traditional methods of carving sculpture from wood or stone, instead welding iron and bronze into expressionistic, geometric figures that he designed on the fly rather than working from premade plans. While his sculptures often depict humanlike or otherwise biomorphic forms, they can also teeter on the edge of abstraction. Chadwick participated in the 1956 Venice Biennale, where he won the International Sculpture Prize. His work has been exhibited in New York, London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong, Milan, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. In 2003, the year the artist died, Tate Britain mounted a major Chadwick retrospective. His sculpture has fetched millions on the secondary market and belongs in the collections of the Musée Rodin, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Royal Academy of Arts.
