AUTUMN 2011 – WINTER 2012

32 THE GALLERY

The Hepworth Wakefield is Britain’s major new art gallery, designed by David Chipperfield Architects, who responded to our dramatic waterfront setting. The gallery’s façade is constructed of pigmented concrete giving the building a highly sculptural appearance that echoes the clarity and power of form in Barbara Hepworth’s work.

The gallery celebrates the region’s heritage as the birthplace of modern British sculpture through the achievements of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore – two of the most important artists of the 20th century, who were born and grew up in the Wakefield district. Our permanent collection displays also include major loans from Tate, the Arts Council Collection and private collectors. The Hepworth Wakefield builds on this artistic legacy with a regularly changing and ambitious exhibition programme of modern and contemporary art.We look forward to welcoming you.

The Unquiet Head presents a new group of paintings by Clare Woods. Woods explores what she sees as supernatural elements of the landscape, using forms that embody our complex relationship with nature. In her work, rock formations, natural pools and twisted vegetation become powerful signs of both a dual attraction to and fear of the landscape.

Far from a picturesque representation of the countryside, Woods presents a psychological response to its dark and untameable nature. A sense of the unseen and uncontrollable is manifested in Woods’ use of paint. The result is an orchestration of abstraction and figuration that is visually ambiguous and claustrophobic in its detail. Woods continues a tradition of British landscape painting characterised by artists such as Paul Nash,

John Piper and Graham Sutherland. This will be explored as part of an accompanying display of work selected by the artist from The Hepworth Wakefield, Tate, Arts Council and British Council collections.

Clare Woods will be in conversation on Thursday 19 January 2012 at 7pm, and a special screening of renowned filmmaker John Wyver’s new documentary about the artist is on Thursday 15 December at 7pm, £7 (£5). Special offer: book these two events for £12. To book email [email protected] or call 01924 247360.

This gallery introduces Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture, exploring the extraordinary breadth of her work. These sculptures display her strong connection between material, method and subject matter. The pierced and stringed cast bronze of Spring (1966), uses an innovative sculptural form that breaks open the solid object and activates it with colour. The upright carved form of Figure (Nanjizal) (1958) retains a clear relationship to the original form of the tree trunk and landscape. The vibrant green patina and concave face of Landscape Sculpture (1944) refers to the coastal landscape, its strings describing the protective bays of St Ives. The formal clarity of Cone and Sphere (1973) brings together abstraction with an allusion to the upright body, and the carved and painted Two Forms with White (Greek) (1963), presents two forms – both figure and object – in conversation.

From its opening in 1934 on Wentworth Terrace, Wakefield Art Gallery developed to become one of the most forward-thinking galleries of its time, with a national reputation that belied its provincial status. Founded in 1923 with gifts from local industrialists, the gallery and its collection went on to support and collect works by some of the most significant and avant-garde British artists of the 20th century. To celebrate the national festival of drawing, The Big Draw (1 – 31 October), this display focuses on figurative drawings from the collection. This display includes works from Renaissance artists Agnolo Bronzino (1503 – 1572) and Giulio Romano (1492 – 1546) through to the works of Barbara Hepworth (1903 – 1975), Percy Wyndham Lewis (1882 – 1957) and Henry Moore (1898 – 1986).

This gallery explores the work of Barbara Hepworth in relation to her European contemporaries and shows the influence of direct carving on modern British sculpture. Hepworth’s changing ideas about sculpture, like many other British artists, were influenced by an awareness of artistic developments on the Continent and an increased interest in sculpture and objects from across the globe.

An earlier generation of sculptors including Constantin Brancusi (1876 – 1957), Henri Gaudier- Brzeska (1891 – 1915), and Jacob Epstein (1880 – 1959) had already broken away from the tradition of modelling and classical representation. They explored new possibilities offered through direct carving which embodied a principle of truth to materials whereby the sculpture’s form was dictated by the shape, density and integral markings of wood grain or stone.

The spirit of international artistic exchange was sustained through visits by British artists to Paris and the subsequent exile of many members of the European avant-garde seeking refuge from Nazi occupation. Artists such as Naum Gabo (1890 – 1977) lived in London in the late 1930s, where Continental Modernism intersected with a British sensibility towards the landscape and the figure. This resulted in a stylistic change in British painting and sculpture from a literal description of the subject to a concentration on simplified form and abstraction.

This display explores Hepworth’s studio environment, her work in plaster, her collaborative relationships with bronze foundries and the monumental commissions she received in the last fifteen years of her life. The gallery introduces The Hepworth Family Gift, a unique collection of Hepworth’s working models that is on permanent display at The Hepworth Wakefield. Representing the first stage of the creative process, they offer an invaluable insight into her art and, in particular, her approach to working with plaster. The tools and materials on display were Hepworth’s own and have been drawn from her second studio in St Ives, the Palais de Danse. Also featured is a step-by-step reconstruction of the bronze-casting process, photographs of works in progress and four specially commissioned films containing archival footage of the artist in her studio.

The Hepworth Family Gift is a remarkable collection of Hepworth’s surviving working models for her bronze sculptures, the majority of which were made in plaster. This generous gift was made by the Hepworth family through the Art Fund and was one of the key reasons for building a new gallery in Wakefield, connecting Hepworth’s name with the city in which she was born and grew up. The collection reflects the variety of ways in which Hepworth used plaster and aluminium. She preferred to make prototypes on the same scale as the finished sculptures and would have worked directly on the majority of these models. The centrepiece of the Gift is the aluminium prototype for Winged Figure (1961 – 3), the sculpture commissioned by John Lewis for their flagship store on Oxford Street. At nearly six metres high, this is the only working model to survive for the monumental commissions Hepworth received in later life.

Yorkshire in Pictures highlights Wakefield’s collection of architectural and landscape works, including the Gott Collection, which comprises ten volumes of images of 18th and 19th century Yorkshire. This fascinating visual resource is exhibited in this gallery and will be accessible to view via a digital catalogue. This display focuses on the natural and man-made land formations of Yorkshire, showing how man and the elements have shaped this extraordinary landscape over time.

Although Barbara Hepworth’s formative years were spent in Wakefield, her later years in Cornwall have resulted in the artist’s close association with the town of St Ives. The Cornish town has a long history as an artists’ colony dating from the late 19th century. Just before the outbreak of the Second World War, Hepworth left London


Artists Heather and Ivan Morison created a new work to mark the launch of The Hepworth Wakefield. It takes the form of an outdoor shelter in which people can gather, relax, entertain and enjoy the waterfront location. The Black Cloud takes its shape and purpose from Amazonian dwellings used by the Yanomamo tribe for performances, discussion and play. To reflect this, The Hepworth Wakefield would like to invite you to use The Black Cloud in a similar way. The sculpture provides basic shelter and a platform for activities, and we would like to invite local talent and imagination to animate this back-to-basics structure. Could you, your group, your band, your circle of friends or your class, use The Black Cloud? Go to www.hepworthwakefield.org/blackcloud to find out how to apply.

James Pyman’s work examines how historical events and cultural moments can be recorded using codes and styles of drawing such as cartoons, comic books and illustration. For The Hepworth Wakefield, Pyman has captured a specific moment in the life of the watermill that stands in front of the gallery’s entrance, with its status caught between its past as part of the city’s industrial heritage and its future within the grounds of the new gallery. Pyman has precisely drawn the existing building’s walls as a series of detailed architect’s elevations, and these images have been scaled up and printed to wrap the building to dramatic effect.

The Black Cloud was originally commissioned by Situations at the University of the West of England for Victoria Park, Bristol in 2009. The commission in Wakefield is supported by Art in Yorkshire.

The watermill dates from the turn of the 19th century and would have originally been used as a corn mill.

with Ben Nicholson and their triplets for the safety of St Ives. They found themselves within an active artistic community which included the ceramicists Janet (1918 – 1997) and Bernard Leach (1887 – 1979); the art theorist and artist Adrian Stokes (1902 – 1972) and his wife the artist Margaret Mellis (1914 – 2009) and Cornish-born artist Peter Lanyon (1918 – 1964). They were shortly followed by Naum and Miriam Gabo (1907 – 1993) and subsequently many more artists were drawn to this small town. This combination of innovative artists and inspiring landscapes led to the development of a particularly British abstraction and St Ives became an internationally significant centre for the development of post war contemporary art.
