Upon gaining her phD in philosophy at Columbia University in 1964\, Blumenfeld moved to Paris to train in sculpture at the Ecole de la Grande Chaumière\, where she studied with the Russian Cubist sculptor Ossip Zadkine. \nIn 1973\, Blumenfeld moved to England and the same year exhibited at Kettles Yard\, Cambridge. 1978 marked a turning point in her work when she first visited Pietrasanta\, Italy and started carving marble. \nBlumenfeld has developed a practice inspired by Cycladic sculpture and Futurism\, creating a sculptural vocabulary that is entirely her own. Excelling in a male dominated field\, Blumenfeld exhibited alongside Henry Moore at the Alex Rosenberg Gallery in New York in 1985\, and became the first female sculptor to win the international sculpture prize ‘Premio Pietrasantaela Versilianel Mondo’ in 2007. Today\, Blumenfeld lives and works between her studios in Cambridge\, UK and Pietrasanta\, Italy.
