Top of the Form
Today's Blip makes a sort of companion piece to this one from a few days ago...
"Single Form (Memorial)" by Dame Barbara Hepworth, in Battersea Park, commemorates her friend, UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, who died in a 'plane crash in 1961.
He had asked her to provide a sculpture for the new UN building in New York, but when she saw the site she realised a much larger piece would be needed. So her original 10ft 6in bronze found a home in London, while a version nearly 3 times the size, cast in seven pieces, went to the US. You can see it here.
