Masterpieces by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore

1 Jan 2000-31 May 2004

The Hepworth Wakefield
Wakefield WF1 5AW

Overview

We present two exhibitions of work from our collection, examining two giants of British art and their deep connection with Yorkshire: Barbara Hepworth (born in Wakefield in 1903) and Henry Moore (born in Castleford in 1898). Barbara Hepworth first met Henry Moore after the First World War at Leeds School of Art where they both studied, and both went on to the Royal College of Art, London in the early 1920s.
