Royal Academy of Arts (archive) show

Summary: In 1974, Ann Christopher RA and her husband, foundryman Ken Cook, reconstructed Jacob Epstein's seminal work 'Rock Drill' for the Hayward Gallery's exhibition 'Vorticism and its Allies'. They join Dr Richard Cork, curator of both 'Vorticism and its Allies' and 'Wild Thing', at the Royal Academy, to revisit the 1974 exhibition, explore the significance of Epstein's 'Rock Drill', and consider its outstanding place in the history of modern British sculpture.
