The
collection covers the whole century and concentrates more on painting
than sculpture, although there are three-dimensional pieces by Hepworth,
Jean Arp, Schwitters and Frink. There is good representation from
the St Ives School with three important works by Ben Nicholson and
a fine group of paintings by Winifred Nicholson. The collection includes
works on paper by artists such as Piper, Sutherland, Christopher Wood
and Gertler, and some important prints by Picasso, Matisse, Braque,
Henry Moore and David Hockney. In recent years the gallery has been
active in adding contemporary British works to its collection and
these have included Bridget Riley, Alison Wilding, Richard Wentworth, Frank Auerbach
and an important recent painting by Tony Bevan.
