Step inside the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden | Tate

Explore the work of Barbara Hepworth through her home, studio, and garden.
Barbara Hepworth first came to live in Cornwall with her husband and their young family at the outbreak of war in 1939, living and working in Trewyn studios - now the Barbara Hepworth Museum - from 1949 until her death.
Following her wish to establish her home and studio as a museum of her work, Trewyn Studio and much of the artist’s work remaining there was given to the nation and placed in the care of the Tate Gallery in 1980.
'Finding Trewyn Studio was a sort of magic’, wrote Hepworth. ‘Here was a studio, a yard and garden where I could work in open air and space’.

Thank you. I’ve been mesmerized by her work ever since my grade 10 art teacher introduced us to it. That was 55 years ago…. Four years ago I had a trip planned to Cornwall and St Ives. Then the pandemic hit … some day!!

The Tate is very big on topics like gender, race and colonialism, etc. But why does it never broach the topic of class and class struggle? Why are white working-class boys excluded from all your institutions? I know all your institutions well, btw...
