Barbara Hepworth and Gimpel Fils : the rise and fall of an artist-dealer relationship

Correia, A

Abstract

Records held in the Gimpel Fils Gallery Archive in London shed new light on Barbara Hepworth’s relationship with her dealers, Charles and Peter Gimpel. Although the gallery offered the artist friendship and support, Hepworth’s desire for improved financial security and her unceasing ambition to enhance her artistic reputation eventually led to a breakdown in their relationship.
