News today from bloomberg.com that a sculpture by Barbara Hepworth set a new auction record when her piece Ultimate Form fetched $2.6m at Sotheby’s.

This is very exciting news for me as a devotee of Hepworth’s work to see her rising through the male-dominated world of sculpture.

Picture to follow.
