Kim Lim: Space, Rhythm & Light: The Hepworth Wakefield

Kim Lim: Space, Rhythm & Light is the first major museum exhibition of Lim’s work since 1999, offering unparalleled insight into the British-Singaporean artist’s life and work. The exhibition displays over 100 artworks created over four decades by Lim, alongside extensive archive material, most of which has never been seen publicly before, to show the full breadth of Lim’s work.

Inspired by forms found in the natural world as well as those in global cultures which Lim discovered on her extensive travels to Asia, Lim’s distinct contribution to 20th-century British sculpture and printmaking has been widely overlooked compared to her contemporaries.

The exhibition explores Lim’s multipart wood and metal sculptures that defined her work between the 1950s and 1970s, as well as her later minimalist stone carvings made in the 1980s and 1990s.
