Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) is one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. She was at the forefront of the international avant-garde and worked both abstractly and figuratively. Hepworth's works - from drawings to monuments - can be found in museum and private collections worldwide, as well as in public spaces.
Born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, she moved to St. Ives in Cornwall in 1939, where she lived and worked until the end of her life. Her works reveal a unique vision of art and life, combining her interests in music, dance, science, space, politics and religion with personal events and experiences.
The exhibition "Barbara Hepworth. Art & Life" presents around 90 sculptures, paintings, drawings and prints from six decades of work. It is organized by The Hepworth Wakefield and will previously be on display at the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul de Vence in summer 2025.
