• Wilhelmina Barns-Graham: Glacier Ice Face
    Glacier Ice Face

Wilhelmina Barns-Graham is celebrated as a leading figure in post-war British Abstract Art. Her artwork often drew inspiration from forms she observed in nature, with the formidable glacier being one of the most prominent throughout her career. In May 1949, Barns-Graham visited the Grindelwald Glacier in Switzerland, sparking what would become a 45-year love affair with the glacier as a subject.  To celebrate this remarkable series, and a new publication devoted to it, Dovecot collaborated with the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust to reinterpret her 1951 painting Glacier Ice Face
