  • About the artist
    Born in Singapore in 1936, Kim Lim moved to the UK at the age of 18 to study at St Martin’s School of Art in London (1954–56) and continued her studies at the Slade School of Art (1956–60), where she studied printmaking. After graduating in 1960, Lim exhibited her work widely. She also travelled extensively with her husband, the sculptor William Turnbull. Lim’s sculptures of the 1960s and 1970s were often carved in wood and explored a narrow range of forms and shapes with great inventiveness. From 1980, Lim turned to stone carving and continued to make prints and drawings alongside her sculptural practice. Throughout her career Lim worked without assistance, and paid careful attention to the minute detail of curve, line and surface finish.
