These constructions were first shown in London in 1949. Chadwick won the International Sculpture Prize at the 28th Venice Biennale and many other awards. In 1958 he bought Lypiatt Park, near Stroud in Gloucestershire, where he created a permanent exhibition of his work. In 1964 he was awarded a CBE. Chadwick continued working in old age. He died at the time that a retrospective at the Tate Britain in London was in preparation. |
