Lynn Chadwick was born in London and represented the UK at the Venice Biennale in 1952 [one of the 'Geometry of Fear' artists] and 1956 [winning the international sculpture prize].
Most public galleries hold his work, including the Tate Gallery and Museum of Modern Art [New York].
2 catalogue raisonne's have been published in 1990 and 2014.
His sculpture from 1950 to 1966 is very good, but from 1967 onwards it became very repetitive and rather dull.
