Description

Barbara Hepworth: The Sculptor in the Studio is a unique study of the artist's St Ives studio, where her work and life were deeply intertwined. The book explores the ways in which the studio and its garden influenced Hepworth's practice over 25 years. A history of this special place, the book also offers a portrait of the artist's working environment and the development of her art. The studio, particularly the garden, played a crucial role in the creation and display of Hepworth's sculptures. Following her death in 1975, the studio was transformed into the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, fulfilling her hopes for a public space to showcase her work. The museum, now part of the Tate Gallery, contains the largest group of Hepworth's works, permanently on display in the place where they were created. This book provides a detailed examination of the adaptation of Hepworth's studio-home to create the museum, and its significance in the development of the Tate St Ives.
