A new exhibition at Kettle's Yard in Cambridge, titled Handpicked, offers a fresh perspective on the gallery's renowned permanent collection. Curated by the gallery's director, the show selects works that resonate with the domestic setting of the historic house.
Curatorial Approach
The exhibition presents a carefully chosen array of pieces, from modern British paintings to sculptures and ceramics. The selection emphasizes the intimate relationship between art and the home environment that Kettle's Yard is known for.
Highlights
- Works by Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth are displayed alongside lesser-known artists.
- Furniture and objects from the original collection are integrated into the display.
- A new commission responds to the building's architecture.
Visitors can expect a thoughtful journey through the collection, with each piece given space to breathe. The exhibition runs until September 2026.
