Artist’s Talk

‘Letting Go’
New Sculptures by Helaine Blumenfeld

Robert Bowman Modern
34 Duke Street
St. James’s
London SW1Y 6DF

For ‘Letting Go’ Helaine Blumenfeld cut loose from her obsession with marble, creating clay models without thinking of the implicit limits of translating them into stone. “It is not about using new materials; it is about pushing the materials and forms to their limits.”
Helaine Blumenfeld trained under Ossip Zadkine and exhibited with Henry Moore. She has been Vice President of the Royal British Society of Sculptors since 2004. She is a rare sculptor who both models and carves, and as a female carver and modeler she is even more rare. She is the first female artist to receive the prestigious Il Premio Pietrasanta e la Versilia Nel Mondo. www.robertbowman.com
Join us to hear the artist speak at her solo exhibition. Refreshments will be served. Self-treat lunch with the artist to follow at Green’s restaurant. NMWA, UK Subscribers £10.00, all others £15.00. To reserve your place please send your cheque, made out to Friends of the NMWA, UK to T Stack, 31 Princedale Road, London W11 4NW. Please indicate if you would like to stay for lunch.
