Barbara Worth (1925-2010), ten sculptures. This collection of the work of the late Barbara Worth has been consigned for sale by her executors following her death in January 2010. It comprises 10 pieces in various styles from different stages of her career, supported by her own notes of exhibitions, lists of sculpture, photographs, press cuttings, letters and other information about her career. She was born as Barbara Wigglesworth in London in 1925 and never married, adopting the professional name of Barbara Worth. After the War she worked as a Youth Leader until taking up a place at London University and obtained a Diploma in Social Studies 1948-1952. She went to Canada 1953 -57 travelling and working in TV and Radio as well as in the Probation Service in Vancouver. She travelled extensively around the world before returning to the UK in 1958. Then she pursued her artistic training at the City & Guilds School (1958-9, Sculpture and Modelling); Hammersmith College of Art (1959-62, Sculpture and Modelling); Chelsea School of Art (1960-62, Drawing), before returning to Canada in 1962. More courses followed at the University of British Columbia (1963-4 Bachelor of Education) and Seattle University (1964, Summer School in Bronze Casting). She was sculpting and exhibiting in Canada in this period, mainly in Vancouver. She returned to London in 1964 where she remained for the rest of her life, combining increasing success with her sculpture, exhibiting at some well know galleries alongside Moore and Epstein, and taking a wide variety of jobs to support her artistic career through the 1960s - 1980s. In later life she turned increasingly to painting in watercolour and pastels, drawing inspiration from her passion for music which was reflected in her earlier abstract sculptures, and busts and drawings of well known orchestral conductors.

* Cemmick (David, 1955-). Jambo the Gorilla, a fine life size foundry bronze sculpture of Jambo the Gorilla, by David Cemmick and Sebastian Wylder, standing in characteristic pose on all fours looking to his right, one of a limited edition of 6, 145 x 160cm, approx. 200 kg. This remarkable life size bronze sculpture is based on drawings made by David Cemmick in 1987, when he visited Jersey to sketch Jambo and other gorillas at Jersey Zoo, following the sensational story of Jambo and a five year old boy who fell into the gorilla enclosure at the zoo on 31st August 1986. Levan Merrit was knocked unconscious after falling into the enclosure and his mother looked on in horror as the huge silver-back male gorilla walked over to the boy. However, Jambo sat down and appeared to guard him from other gorillas until the child was rescued by the fire brigade. Footage of the event, taken by amateur cameraman Brian Le Lion was sent around the world, and Jambo the Gentle Giant became instantly famous. This extraordinary work produced in an edition of six only, perfectly captures the huge strength of the animal, combined with a sense of quiet protectiveness. (1)
