We revisited the Hepworth Gallery with kids and the new vine app, in August 2013....
We had a child free weekend and made the trip across the moors to see Chipperfield's major piece of work in Wakefield. Having visited Hepworth's museum in St Ives we were not disappointed. The gallery outstanding series of spaces rigorously detailed by David Chipperfield and his Architects.
Each window frames a view with sparse and very controlled palette.
The artwork almost an afterthought. The natural lighting I note had been supplemented- Wakefield does not boast St Ives luminescent light unfortunately. The pedestrian bridge gives A passing nod to the brutal vehicular budge crossing the weir.
It is a joy to have the gallery celebrating a female artist within spitting distance ( ok an hour and 11min drive) from home
The clientele were cultured gentlefolk of a certain age and young families with artfully dressed and haircutted children. Just glad ours weren't around causing chaos for the visit. And I had lovely welsh rarebit in the cafe
