Barbara Hepworth: The Sculptor in the Studio is the first study
devoted to Hepworth's St Ives studio in which the centrality of
Trewyn Studio and garden to her art and life is brought to the
fore. 'It affects my whole life & work most profoundly', she
wrote to a friend in 1949 shortly before acquiring it. A history
and a portrait of a unique place, the book illuminates the ways in
which the place and the work are bound together. It explores
Hepworth's working environment and the development of her practice
over a period of 25 years. The studio, and especially the garden
that Hepworth shaped, was the primary and ideal context in which
her sculptures were viewed. Following Hepworth's death in 1975,
Trewyn Studio was opened as the Barbara Hepworth Museum and
Sculpture Garden, fulfilling the hopes she had expressed at the end
of her life. The adaptation of Hepworth's studio-home to create the
Museum is examined in detail. The Museum was given to the Tate
Gallery in 1980, becoming the first of Tate's outstations and
helping to lay the foundations for Tate St Ives. It contains the
largest group of Hepworth's works, permanently on display in the
place in which they were created. Here the visitor is closest to
Hepworth's work and to the sources of her inspiration.
