    Many things happened to Barbara Hepworth. She attended the Leeds School of Art from 1920. There, she met fellow sculptor Henry Moore. From Leeds, Hepworth went on to attend the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, where she studied from 1921–24. Following her studies there, Hepworth traveled to Italy, beginning in Florence, where she was the runner-up for the Prix de Rome. She lost only to sculptor John Skeaping, with whom she began a relationship. The pair traveled to Siena and Rome and were married in 1925 in Florence. During her time in Italy, Hepworth studied under sculptor Giovanni Ardini and learned how to carve marble. Upon her return to London, Hepworth and Skeaping began to publicly exhibit their work from their flat until their divorce in 1929.

    Barbara Hepworth sculptures have holes in them because the sculptor was interested in how three-dimensional artworks interact with the spaces in which they are displayed.

In addition, Hepworth stated that she liked those gazing at her work to be able to see the inside and outside of her sculptures simultaneously. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Barbara Hepworth art.

    Barbara Hepworth used bronze for a few reasons. Hepworth intended for some pieces to be displayed outdoors and bronze is a weather-ready material. Because it can be melted and poured into a mold, bronze also made it possible for Hepworth to create her distinctive pierced, fluid sculptures, whereas it was more difficult to achieve the same effects with wood and stone. In addition, brass enabled Hepworth to quickly make multiple editions of the same work. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Barbara Hepworth art.
