Provenance

Hart Gallery, Nottingham

Literature

J. Hamilton, The Sculpture of Austin Wright, The Henry Moore Foundation, in association with Lund Humphries, Much Hadham, 1994, pp. 72 and 116

The present lot is one of a number of variations of Austin Wright's 'seedheads'. The Artist would often re-use and re-cast elements from existing sculptures to create different versions of the works. Whilst not the same as no. S340 from the catalogue raisonné, Five Seedheads is a reworking of the theme.
