Gerda Rubinstein – Parndon Mill

Parndon Mill, Summer 2017 Notes from Friends Newsletter: This summer one of our foremost sculptors will be exhibiting once again at Parndon Mill Gallery. In the show entitled ‘Observation and Insight’ she will have bronze and resin casts of current and past work.She is well represented in the town and the Gibberd Garden and many will be familiar with the concrete eagles at the entrance, commissioned by Sir Fredrick in 1977. Lady Patricia Gibberd purchased a ‘Tower’ in 1972 as her wedding gift for her husband and another of the series was acquired by the Trust for Bishopsfield.Her first exhibition of sculpture in Harlow was in a group show at the Playhouse Gallery, curated by Lady Gibberd, which she helped mount in 1978.She has since produced pieces for Harlow Art Trust and privately for the Gibberd Garden. We have three works in the Gibberd Gallery: ‘Screen’, the bronze version of Sir Fredrick’s portrait and a maquette of a tower, ‘City’. ‘Julia’, was relocated to the Playhouse and replaced with a resin cast in Sewell Harris Close, The Stow.Still creative at the age of 87, Gerda continues to explore ways of capturing the figure in motion. Her works are a delight. […]

In 1952 a scholarship enabled her to study at the Grande Chaumiere in Paris under Ossip Zadkine; she won a Prize Jeune Sculpture and travelled for a year before returning to Amsterdam where she got her first commission for a carving in stone for a school in ljmuiden that was unveiled in 1956. This was followed in 1958 by a bronze sculpture in the Ooster Park in Amsterdam. In 1958 she came to London and settled in Blackheath with her husband and baby daughter. In 1967 Pat Gibberd saw her exhibition in Gallery 66.; she recommended her work to the Harlow Art Trust who commissioned her to make City for Bishopsfield which was sited in April 1971. Other works in Harlow, bought by the Trust, include Screen outside Purford Green Infant School, Baby at William Martin Primary School […]
