Elisabeth Frink

Dame Elisabeth Frink (1930-1993), sculptor and printmaker. This sympathetic portrait statue by a fellow artist was purchased by the Harlow Art Trust in 1957, the year after it was cast. In its listing of the work Historic England notes that it is unusual to find a public sculpture of a woman artist at this date and that it was an early acquisition by the Harlow Art Trust. They further point out that the statue is ‘a rare full figure portrait sculpture by this significant C20 artist.’

Location: West Walk, Harlow, Essex.
