With their naturalist, near-abstract geometry, and spectral silhouettes, Lynn Chadwick’s enigmatic figures left an indelible mark on 20th-century sculpture, standing alongside the works of Alberto Giacometti, Henry Moore, and Louise Bourgeois. The exhibition, Archetype, focuses on the British artist’s mature period (1963–1977) and forms the second chapter of Hypercycle—an ambitious three-part project spanning three continents and three years, presenting more than 120 of Chadwick’s sculptures. It follows Scalene, which explored his early works (1947–1963) and was shown in 2024 in Paris at the Centre des Monuments Nationaux and at Perrotin. The third and final chapter will showcase Chadwick’s late works (1978–1995) in Shanghai in 2026.
