About the Item

Bold and enigmatic, Venus in Furs / The Fur Coast exemplifies Lynn Chadwick’s distinctive vision — a fusion of geometric abstraction and organic sensuality. Created in 1971, this lithograph captures the sculptural tension and poise that defined Chadwick’s celebrated three-dimensional works, translated here into a strikingly graphic two-dimensional form. The interplay of form, texture, and restraint evokes both strength and vulnerability, hallmarks of the artist’s unique aesthetic language. Lynn Chadwick (1914–2003) was one of Britain’s foremost post-war sculptors, emerging alongside Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth as a leading figure in British modernism. Originally trained as an architectural draughtsman, Chadwick began sculpting in the late 1940s and gained international recognition after winning the International Prize for Sculpture at the 1956 Venice Biennale. His work is characterised by dynamic structure and emotional intensity, bridging abstraction and figuration. Chadwick’s pieces are held in major collections worldwide, including Tate, MoMA, and the Centre Pompidou. Venus in Furs / The Fur Coast stands as a compelling example of Chadwick’s graphic oeuvre — a synthesis of his sculptural sensibility and his fascination with the human form reimagined through line, balance, and rhythm. It is protected behind glass, float mounted, on a black background with a dark wood stained frame with minor knocks and abrasions. Overall in good order.
