Artwork description:

The Hepworth Wakefield is delighted to present a new limited edition, Goldfinger, by the artist Paulina Olowska. The collage print takes inspiration from Alina Szapocznikow’s 1965 sculpture of the same name, her relationship with her second husband, graphic artist and photographer Roman Cieślewicz, and the opening of Szapocznikow’s 1957 exhibition at the Zacheta National Gallery in Warsaw. The photographic print is taken of a collage using ink, red wine and gold. Olowska regards Szapocznikow as the first female artist to truly address female subjectivity and the physical experience of her own body.
