Lygia Clark and Veronica Ryan are included in the group touring exhibition ‘Breaking the Mould: Sculpture by Women since 1945’. Currently on view at The Levinsky Gallery, University of Plymouth and The Box, Plymouth, the exhibition will travel to Ferens Gallery, Hull in July and The New Art Gallery Walsall in October this year.
‘Breaking the Mould’ is the first major survey of post-war British sculpture by women. Presented across St Luke’s, The Box, and The Levinsky Gallery, University of Plymouth, the exhibition surveys 75 years and explores the work of over 40 sculptors. It provides a radical recalibration, addressing the many accounts of British sculpture that have marginalised women or airbrushed their work from art history altogether.
All of the works included in the presentation were selected from the Arts Council Collection, which holds more than 250 sculptures by over 150 women.
