Hamilton’s sculptural collages are also reflected in her prints. Manarch (pasta) recalls the appropriations and engagements with consumer media and advertising, which characterised early British Pop art, a key element in The Hepworth Wakefield’s collection.

Anthea Hamilton is an artist whose career the curators of The Hepworth Wakefield have followed with interest but who was not yet represented in the museum’s collection. The acquisition of Leg Chair and Manarch Pasta represents different aspects of Hamilton’s artistic practice and contributes to the beginning of a fruitful relationship between the museum and the artist.
