Maria Bartuszová is included in ‘Disobedient Bodies’ at Hepworth Wakefield, a major exhibition in which Jonathan Anderson, one of the world’s most innovative contemporary fashion designers, explores the human form in art, fashion and design.
The show positions a personal selection of sculptures alongside notable fashion pieces and objects of craft and design, investigating the way the human form has been reconceived by artists and designers across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
In addition to work by Bartuszová, figurative sculptures from the likes of Jean Arp, Louise Bourgeois, Lynn Chadwick, Naum Gabo, Barbara Hepworth, Sarah Lucas, Henry Moore, Magali Reus and Dorothea Tanning have been positioned in dialogue with fashion pieces by designers such as Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Rei Kawakubo of Commes des Garçons, Helmut Lang and Issey Miyake.
