‘Nearly all people have a private world.<br />
I escape into my studio and put my fantasies<br />
into solid form, sculptural form. I have an<br />
ambition to be a good sculptor. I think one<br />
has to be ambitious. I want to be able to give<br />
the idea, the crystallization, the satisfactory<br />
sculptural form without it being mere forms<br />
which look nice. I want it to have an impact<br />
on people who look at it without it being<br />
dramatic or melodramatic.’ 1<br />
Dame Elisabeth Frink, RA, 1930–1993<br />
This latest <strong>Catalogue</strong> <strong>Raisonné</strong> is the result <strong>of</strong> new research compiled<br />
from the Frink Estate collections and archive. The editor has also drawn<br />
on the earlier catalogue raisonnés, other publications and sources.<br />

Stock books: details <strong>of</strong> titles (and changes), completion dates <strong>of</strong> original<br />
plasters, edition numbers, casting dates, founders, commissioners,<br />
purchasers, gifts and related notations<br />

As a result <strong>of</strong> this research it was necessary to introduce a new date<br />
sequential numbering system:<br />
FCR (2013) catalogue raisonné numbers will now replace former CR (1984)<br />
numbers and SC (1994) numbers.<br />
A complete FCR numbers listing with former CR and SC numbers can<br />
be found on p.204.<br />
Any future sculptures or plasters (with provenance from the Frink Estate<br />
Archive) will be added sequentially to the Frink <strong>Catalogue</strong> <strong>Raisonné</strong> (FCR)<br />
numbering system independent <strong>of</strong> the original date.<br />
