Part of a collection of letters to Sir Herbert Read from Dame Barbara Hepworth (English artist and sculptor) held in the Herbert Read archive at the University of Leeds, UK. The letters span the time period of 1965 to 1968, and discuss art, the art world and their personal lives. Hepworth is pleased to have had a visit from Read's son Tom and his fiancée Celia. She discusses the Tate gallery's potential acquisition of ""WHAM"" [WHAAM! by Roy Lichtenstein].
