News
The Hepworth Wakefield opened on 21 May 2011 in the city where Hepworth was born and grew up. The Hepworth is a new museum containing the gift of a unique collection of forty-four working models in plaster and aluminium from the Hepworth Estate, alongside the existing collection of Wakefield Art Gallery which includes a particularly strong group of works by twentieth century British artists. A book, Barbara Hepworth: The Plasters, edited by Sophie Bowness, was published by Lund Humphries in April to coincide with the opening. It contains essays by Frances Guy, Gordon Watson, David Chipperfield, Sophie Bowness and Jackie Heuman, together with a complete catalogue of the plasters and a preface by Simon Wallis.
