Betty Rea was a sculptor noted for her friendship with Henry Moore. She, with her husband, was active in the anti-fascist movement of the 1930s, before spending the war years teaching art and sculture to evacuated children. This piece was purchased in 1975 as a celebration of Old Harlow (where it still stands) winning an architectural heritage award. It was made shortly before her death in 1965. I guess that Kore refers to the classical sculptures of ancient Greece. I like the expression on the subjects face, part boredom, part annoyance, looking sideways at whatever has caught her eye.
