THE ARTIST

Hendelman’s work reflects her love of the primitive and the ancient.The small scale and style have established her identity as a sculptor,as was recognized in the following press release by Adele Segal, Paris art dealer:

“For me, the most astonishing element within each of Hendelman’s stone figures is that she has enabled the stone to speak in understated harmony. Aside from restrained carving, it is impossible not to surround the figures with visions of a heroic and compelling human journey. In Hendelman’s work, it is the breath of life within the cold artifact that makes the journey irresistible and rewarding.”

Berlin gallery owner, Helmut Schulz, states that her work possesses a signature distortion, similar to that of Modigliani, which demands the examination and imagination of the viewer:

“Hendelman’s sculptures defy definition by period. They speak of Greco-Roman antiquity, yet flow from her hand with the unspoken simplicity and pure line of the minimalists. There is power in what she leaves undone working her stone, with areas of untouched natural beauty which enhance or surround the more finished face and torso like the prize of an archaeological dig. These are important works of art.

Hendelman has been represented by galleries and dealers in New York, London, Paris, Berlin, and Sydney.
