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 address contemporary issues, shift historic imbalances in the collection or enrich narratives explored by artists in shifting contexts.
Artists on display include Sarah Ball, Alvaro Barrington, Jake Grewal, Caragh Thuring, Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings, Jimmy Robert, Veronica Ryan, Dana Schutz and Hannah Starkey alongside works of British Surrealism from The Sherwin Family Collection and sculptures by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore.
