When her triplets were born in 1934, Sculptress Barbara Hepworth laid aside her hammer and chisel for a whole month. Otherwise, domestic duties have rarely kept her from her work as an artist. As a result of this dedicated cultivation of her talents, Barbara Hepworth, now 51, is one of the world's top sculptors, and last week London's Whitechapel Art Gallery was having the biggest retrospective show of her work ever held...

Last week Fiore was showing off her own work at her first one-woman show in London. She was a good show herself, greeting visitors with a middleweight's handclasp, swinging her heavy black mop of hair and dusting her 21 exhibits with the sleeves of her sweater. Her work was less lively than she, but it showed promise...
