On the first public open day of the exhibition, ‘David Smith. Field Work’, join the artist's daughters Rebecca and Candida Smith, co-presidents of the David Smith Estate and Dr. Neil Wenman, Senior Director of Hauser & Wirth London, for a tour and introduction to the exhibition, where they will share key themes and ideas. The tour will be followed by a Q&A session. The exhibition has been conceived as four chapters of work spanning over three decades (from 1933 to 1964) that aim to demonstrate Smith’s diverse visual language and multifaceted creative process. Curated by the artist’s daughters Rebecca and Candida Smith, the exhibition situates itself between the drawn image and sculpted form to investigate the relationship between the two parallel practices. This is a free event, but must be booked in advance.
