Oliffe Richmond was born in Australia and is their greatest sculptor, but I'm not sure they realise it yet.
He came over to the UK in 1949 and initially worked as an assistant to Henry Moore.
One-man exhibitions include Molton Gallery and Annely Juda Fine Art.
The Tate Gallery collection includes his work.
A very interesting and hugely underrated sculptor.
