Overview
Since Wakefield’s art collection was established in 1923 it has had an aim of nurturing an understanding of contemporary art and its relation to modern life. The Hepworth Wakefield continues to develop the collection with this aim, showing how art can help us understand and explore current lived experiences.
The new works on display in A Living Collection address contemporary issues, shift historic imbalances in the collection or enrich narratives explored by artists in shifting contexts.
Artists on display include Jadé Fadojutimi, Jake Grewal, Lewis Hammond, Bronwyn Katz, James Oughtibridge, Dan Perfect, Fiona Rae and Caragh Thuring alongside sculptures by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore.
