"She laughs again.... Maggi, I exclaim, you are smoking again! Didn't you give up five years ago? She says she did but last year, on her birthday, her large bronze sculpture of a rising wave was being erected, and it was fraught, and 'I thought: fuck it. It's my birthday. I'll smoke.'... She smokes with sensational gusto... I can't stand namby-pamby, take-it-or-leave-it smokers. I call them 'crap smokers' and Maggi is not a crap smoker.... 'I think I was once put forward to paint the Queen Mother but the word came back saying I was a bit risky, so it didn't happen.' Perhaps they thought you'd seduce her. 'She was very fond of gentlemen.' She could have painted Margaret Thatcher but didn't bother. Some big Conservative association wanted her to do it but she refused.... As a sculptor, Maggi's public works include her Charing Cross memorial to Oscar Wilde – it shows him rising from a sarcophagus.... Critics seem to loathe Oscar.... Would you have liked to have been a mother, Maggi? 'The thing of actually giving birth to this thing that's been inside you for nine months must be quite an event,' she says. 'And I've always said that if ever a painting was crying out in one room and a baby was crying out in another, I'm animal enough to go to the baby... it sounds corny but it's true... my works are my babies... '... Did your parents accept you being gay? 'My mother had a great problem with it... she hated saying the word lesbian, and I don't like it either. I prefer lesbionic or dyke....'"I'm reading "Maggi Hambling: 'I was put forward to paint the Queen Mother but the word came back saying I was a bit risky'/As a painter and sculptor, she’s an art-world legend – but as our intrepid interviewer discovers, Maggi Hambling's private life is every bit as colourful as her work" (The Independent).
That's from 2010. I got there from Wikipedia, where I went because Hambling — whom I'd never heard of — is trending on Twitter this morning because....
"People Are Furious Over This New Statue of Pioneering Feminist Mary Wollstonecraft in London/The internet wishes she were a bit less nude" (ArtNetNew).

Was Hambling's tribute to Oscar Wilde more respectful? He's rising out of a tomb.Genuine question: Why present Mary Wollstonecraft as naked?

I’ve seen many statues of male writers, rights activists and philosophers and I can’t remember any of them being bare-assed. https://t.co/CNUmBgzldD
Wollstonecraft is rising out of a wave. Hambling seems to like the human figure coming up out of something. Something awkward. I mean... I just don't think the sculptures are very well done, quite aside from the conception and whether it properly honors the famous person. Does the Oscar Wilde look like Oscar Wilde?
As for Mary Wollstonecraft — do you have a picture in your head of how she looked? I did not. I needed to look it up...
I'm not British. I'm not caught up in the worship of Maggi Hambling. I take it there's some kind of adulation of her that has them giving her money for things that don't seem to be very good at all.
But isn't that the way of public sculpture in the last 50 years? Money is spent and eyesores are installed.
But if there's nakedness, that will get the most airplay, and the people talking about it will seem like rubes and prudes.
She likes jokes....
