About
The Hepworth Wakefield is an award-winning art gallery in the heart of Yorkshire, set within Wakefield’s historic waterfront overlooking the River Calder. Designed by the acclaimed David Chipperfield Architects, the gallery opened in May 2011.
Named after Barbara Hepworth, one of the most important artists of the 20th century, who was born and brought up in Wakefield, the gallery presents major exhibitions of the best international modern and contemporary art and has dedicated galleries exploring Hepworth’s art and working process.

Lowry, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore as well as work by significant contemporary artists such as Phyllida Barlow, Alvaro Barrington, Jadé Fadojutimi, Anthea Hamilton, Martin Parr and Eva Rothschild.
The Hepworth Wakefield Garden, designed by award-winning landscape architect, Tom Stuart-Smith, opened in Summer 2019 and is free for all visitors.
