The Hepworth Gallery, Wakefield, Yorkshire September 2014
The Hepworth Wakefield is an art gallery in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, which opened on 21 May 2011. The gallery is situated on the south side of the River Calder and takes its name from artist and sculptor Barbara Hepworth who was born and educated in the city.
Architecture
The Hepworth Wakefield is a structure composed of ten trapezoidal blocks; its upper-level galleries are lit by natural light from large windows in the pitched roofs. Its windows have views of the river, historic waterfront and the city skyline. The building's façade is clad with self-compacting pigmented concrete made on site, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. The architects selected the material to emphasise the gallery's sculptural appearance. The gallery has ground-floor visitor facilities, including a café and restaurant overlooking the river, a learning studio, a 100-seat auditorium and shop. The building's brutalist design is not universally popular with local people.
Collection
The Hepworth's 1600 square metres of purpose-built gallery space houses 44 plaster and aluminum working models donated by Dame Barbara Hepworth's family and temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. Items from Wakefield's art collection which spans the 16th century to the present day are on display, including works by Henry Moore, who was born in Castleford in the Wakefield district, Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland, Paul Nash, Jacob Epstein, Walter Sickert, Anthony Caro, Ivon Hitchens, LS Lowry, and David Hockney.
The gallery is a partner of Tate Plus, a project aimed at increasing public access to the national collection of British and international modern and contemporary art.

Lynda Benglis at The Hepworth Wakefield, 6 February - 1 July 2015
'Her retrospective at the Hepworth Wakefield is a revelation.' **** - Adrian Searle, The Guardian
The Hepworth Wakefield presents the UK’s first museum survey of work by Greek-American artist and feminist icon Lynda Benglis. This highly anticipated exhibition is the largest presentation of Benglis’ work in the UK, featuring approximately 50 works that will span the entirety of her prolific career to date.
Aged 73, Benglis is one of America’s most significant living artists. Born in 1941 in Louisiana, USA, she was heralded as the ‘heir to Pollock’ by Life magazine in 1970, and emerged as part of a generation of artists forging new approaches to sculpture and painting in the wake of Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism and Pop Art.
Counting Andy Warhol, Sol LeWitt and Barnett Newman among her friends and peers, Benglis established her career within a male-dominated art world and became famous not only for her radical re-envisioning of sculpture and painting through her early works using wax and poured latex, but also for her works dealing with feminist politics and self-image.
Exhibition supported by Cheim & Read, The Henry Moore Foundation, Thomas Dane Gallery and the Lynda Benglis Exhibition Circle.

LAST CHANCE TO SEE - Yorkshire Sculpture International at The Hepworth Wakefield.
For Yorkshire Sculpture International at The Hepworth Wakefield, this exhibition is centred around the idea of ‘truth to materials’, a concept adopted by British modernist artists including Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, whose work forms the heart of Wakefield’s impressive art collection. It responds to their interest in how a sculptural form should be determined by the characteristics of the chosen material for the work, and explores how these relationships are approached by artists creating sculpture today.
A series of new commissions and debut UK presentations by established and emerging artists from around the world including Nairy Baghramian, Jimmie Durham, Wolfgang Laib and Tau Lewis unfold across the gallery.
Yorkshire Sculpture International is organised by four world-renowned cultural institutions – Henry Moore Institute, Leeds Art Gallery, The Hepworth Wakefield and Yorkshire Sculpture Park – and will include major new outdoor commissions across both cities.
Yorkshire Sculpture International comes to an end on Sun 29 Sept. Open daily, 10am - 5pm, FREE entry. hepworthwakefield.org/ysi
The Hepworth Wakefield and Andrew McMillan
To coincide with Alan Davie & David Hockney: Early Works,The Hepworth Wakefield has collaborated with award-winning Yorkshire-born poet Andrew McMillan to produce a new poem inspired by and to accompany the exhibition.
Andrew McMillan’s new poem line begins by exploring the fundamental need for humans to express themselves using their hands for drawing, writing and creating art. Influenced by Davie and Hockney’s shared passion for poetry, particularly the work of American poet Walt Whitman, line is a moving response that also considers inheritance and influences of the LGBT+ experience.
The 19th-century poem We Two Boys Together Clinging by Whitman has often been identified as a poem of homosexual love. Hockney’s painting of the same title – We Two Boys Together Clinging – depicts two men kissing, created at a time when homosexuality was still illegal in England. Whitman’s poetry inspired Davie to discover a passion for writing and reading poetry during World War II and had a similarly powerful influence upon Hockney. In the early 1960s a number of Hockney’s paintings incorporated lines from Whitman’s poems and the artist even adopted code used by Whitman in a journal when writing of his love for another man.

Alan Davie and David Hockney: Early Works at The Hepworth Wakefield
In this short film, curator Eleanor Clayton, assistant curator Abi Shapiro and independent co-curator Helen Little introduce Alan Davie & David Hockney: Early Works at The Hepworth Wakefield.
In 1958 Alan Davie had his first solo exhibition at Wakefield Art Gallery, which went on to tour nationally and launched Davie’s career. A young visitor to the Wakefield exhibition was David Hockney, then a recent graduate of Bradford College of Art.
The exhibition was a pivotal influence on Hockney’s artistic development and shortly after this visit, Hockney moved to London to take up a place at the Royal College of Art. There he discarded, as Davie had, realist figurative painting in favour of colourful, gestural works that combined abstraction with coded text and symbolism.
Alan Davie & David Hockney: Early Works will trace the parallel paths of these key figures of post-war British painting, revealing shared preoccupations with passion, love, sex and poetry as their works of art oscillated between figuration and abstraction.
As the country moved from post-war austerity to the ‘swinging sixties’, it was a time when contemporary art was becoming a central part of popular culture. Artists appeared in films, were interviewed on television and featured in the new colour Sunday supplements. The exhibition will explore this exciting moment in British art and the emergence of a radical new art world.
