Hepworth’s most celebrated sculptures spanning across her varied career, including modern abstract carving and large-scale bronze and carved sculptures.

About

This exhibition, which has garnered rave reviews across the country after visits to Wakefield, Edinburgh and St Ives, will display some of Hepworth’s most celebrated sculptures including the modern abstract carving that launched her career in the 1920s and 1930s, her iconic strung sculptures of the 1940s and 1950s, and large-scale bronze and carved sculptures from later in her career. Key loans from national public collections will be shown alongside works from private collections that have not been on public display since the 1970s, and rarely seen drawings, paintings and fabric designs. The exhibition will be themed around Hepworth's broader cultural interests in music, dance, theatre, politics and literature, exploring these and encouraging new interpretations and presentations of her work. 

Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life is organised by The Hepworth Wakefield, in collaboration with National Galleries Scotland, Tate St Ives, and Towner Art Gallery.
