Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Garden, St. IvesThe studio and
sculpture garden owned by noted 20th century sculptor Barbara Hepworth are maintained
by the Tate
St. Ives museum as part of its committment to preserve and offer access to
the best of modern British art. Hepworth created the garden before her death,
and asked that the sculpture be displayed exactly as she had placed it. Hepworth
lived in St. Ives from 1939 until her tragic death in a studio fire in 1975. She
was drawn to southern Cornwall, as many artists are, by the wonderful light for
which the area is famous. Most of her sculpture can be characterised as abstract;
she preferred to create impressions of objects rather than portray the objects
themselves. She worked in a variety of mediums, and sculptures in wood, stone,
and bronze are on display, as well as paintings, drawings, and archival material.
