Sculpture and Madame Tussauds

Thursday 14 June, 6.30pm
Karen Newman
Sculpture and Madame Tussauds
Tickets £7 / £5

At the age of fourteen portrait sculptor Karen Newman discovered her love for this art form. Various private commissions in her 20s, including Roger Daltrey of rock band The Who, shown at the ICA, led to an invitation by Madame Tussauds to make wax portrait figures over the next 21 years, including Henry Moore and David Hockney, rock stars and Heads of State. Newman’s recent works, mostly in bronze, can be seen in central London, including several Special Operations Executive (SOE) heroines of World War II.
