Ruth Duckworth

Radius Books

Ruth Duckworth delivers an extensive, thoughtful monograph on the artist\u2019s entire body of work with new scholarship, exquisite reproductions, and the complete cooperation of the Duckworth Estate.\nThis book firmly establishes the artist in the pantheon of twentieth-century sculptors, in a class with Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. Duckworth referred to herself not as a potter or ceramicist, but as a sculptor with clay, and this volume takes her at her word, foregrounding her sculptural production. As Emmanuelle Cooper wrote in her obituary: \u201CIn both her life and work, Duckworth\u2019s background was one of non-conformity. In Germany, as a young girl, she risked prosecution by defacing a Nazi monument and resented being unable to attend art school because her father was Jewish.
