Description
Book SynopsisKettle's Yard is widely recognised as a highly influential master class in curating; a flawless arrangement of art and objects that is still radical in its philosophy of seeking to fuse art with life. For many it is a place that has that rare power of changing how we see the world and our place within it. With a foreword by Jim Ede and an interesting floor plan guide, this book is a notable keepsake for all who love Kettle's Yard, and a fantastic introduction for those yet to discover it.
Kettle’s Yard is the University of Cambridge’s modern and contemporary art gallery. The permanent collection displayed in the Kettle’s Yard House boasts works from 20th Century artists such as Ben Nicholson, Winifred Nicholson, Christopher Wood, Alfred Wallis, Constantin Brancusi, Joan Miro, Barbara Hepworth and many more.
