Footnotes
PROVENANCE: Gifted by the artist to the mother of the present owner in 1981, as a wedding present
Frink created her first boar in 1957 as a commission for Harlow New Town. Originally in concrete, it later broke and was re-cast in bronze. This was a new departure for the artist and may have had root in stories of hunts in India or been suggested by pictures. This initial prototype was based on photographs and imagination. However, it was to become a motif she returned to throughout the 60s and on into the 1970s. Later though, as a regular visitor to France, she had the opportunity to study the creatures firsthand and develop the theme.
