Who Was Lynn Chadwick?

Lynn Chadwick (1914–2003) was one of the most important British sculptors of the 20th century. Trained as an architectural draughtsman, he transitioned to sculpture in the late 1940s and gained international acclaim by the 1950s. In 1956, Chadwick won the International Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale—beating the likes of Giacometti—cementing his status on the global stage. Known for his angular, often winged, semi-abstract figures, Chadwick’s works explore balance, movement, and emotional tension. He frequently worked in bronze and welded steel, producing limited-edition sculptures that now fetch significant sums at auction. His work is held in prestigious collections, including the Tate, MoMA, and Centre Pompidou. To learn more, our Guide to the work of Lynn Chadwick provides further insight into this unique artist.
