Pierced Monolith with Color

Pierced Monolith with Color was designed for the artist's garden and carved at her studio in St Ives. It closely follows Single Form (1964), a work she created for the United Nations building in New York City that revisited her pierced pieces from the 1940s. Pierced Monolith was still in Hepworth's sculpture garden at the time of her death, in 1975.《带色彩的穿孔独石（Pierced Monolith with Color）》系为艺术家私人花园打造的雕塑作品，于其位于圣艾夫斯（St Ives）的工作室中雕刻完成。该作品在形式与创作思路上均高度呼应她为纽约联合国总部大楼创作的《单体（1964）》，而后者正是对她20世纪40年代穿孔系列雕塑的重新诠释。1975年赫普沃斯（Hepworth）逝世时，《带色彩的穿孔独石》仍留存于她的雕塑花园内。
