Totem: The Untold Story of a Sculpture

40,000 years of human creativity, carved into stone, bone and bronze, shape the story of sculpture.

Jo Baring, art historian and curator, traces a line from the prehistoric Lion Man discovered hidden in a German cave, to the icons of the Italian Renaissance and the radical visions of artists including Alberto Giacometti, Barbara Hepworth, Louise Bourgeois and Yayoi Kusama.

With Julia Wheeler, she explores why we have been driven to create sculpture since the very beginning of humanity.

There will be a book signing after this event.
