 ELIZABETH FRINK Frink had her first major exhibition at the Beaux Art Gallery in London when she was twenty two. The occasion was marked by the Tate Gallery purchasing "Bird". The 'Riace' sculptures were inspired by the discovery of two fifth-century BC Greek bronze sculptures in the sea off Southern Italy in the 1970s. The warrior at is one of four. The bronzes depict ancient Greek mercenaries: warriors who would fight in exchange for sacrifi cial offerings in their benefi t. (From the display caption August 2004) Tate Modern. Dame Elisabeth Frink made Dorset her home for the last sixteen years of her life. It was always her wish that her sculpture be displayed in a natural setting and preferably in the county she had adopted as her own. A permanent collection of her work is now based at Sherborne House, Dorset. In later years Dame Elisabeth illustrated Homers' 'Odyssey' and 'Iliad' for the Folio Society; 'Aesop's Fables, published by Alastair McAlpine and Leslie Waddington. She exhibited throughout the world. Soon after completing 'Risen Christ', Dame Elisabeth died of cancer at home on the 18th of April 1993. |
