Mother and Child by Barbara Hepworth, 1934

Wakefield Art Gallery has now closed to the public in preparation for the opening of The Hepworth Wakefield - Yorkshire's major new art gallery.

Designed by award-winning architect David Chipperfield, The Hepworth Wakefield will show a previously unseen collection of sculpture by Wakefield-born Barbara Hepworth, along with a nationally important collection of historical and modern art. As the third largest contemporary exhibition space outside London, The Hepworth Wakefield will bring the work of leading UK and international artists to Yorkshire through a changing programme of temporary exhibitions.
