TOWNER Eastbourne

Towner Eastbourne is hosting the final iteration of Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life, a blockbuster show which has already garnered rave reviews across the country after visits to Wakefield, Edinburgh and St Ives.

Opening with an introduction to Barbara Hepworth’s work, revealing the three sculptural forms she returned to repeatedly throughout her career, the exhibition includes some of the artist’s most celebrated sculptures, from modern abstract carving to large-scale pieces in bronze, wood and marble.

Hepworth’s deeply personal connection to her own work is also highlighted through archive material, photographs, paintings and drawings. The show explores lesser-known elements of her career, such as her friendship with physicist J D Bernal, her iconic Hospital Drawings of the 1940s and her fascination with the Space Race in the 1960s.

Get to know Hepworth on a deeper level and gain an insight into her enduring ability to express essential human experiences, from interpersonal relationships to our connection to the world around us. The exhibition will be on display at Towner until 3rd September. Tickets £6.00 to £12.00, free for Towner Members. Visit www.townereastbourne.org.uk
