A selection of etchings, drawings, watercolours and sculptures from the Estate of William Turnbull focussing on the 1970s and early 1980s.
William Turnbull's work resonates across cultural, geographical and historical divides and evades neat classification. His work would be equally at home in a museum of ancient artefacts as in a museum of contemporary art. [...] While habitually linked with the 'Geometry of Fear' – a group of British sculptors...who rose to international prominence in the 1950s in the wake of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth – his work has a seriousness of purpose and depth of thought that marks it apart. He connects with just about every art group of the period, but at the same time was allied to none. This independent streak is a key characteristic of his life and work.
