About Anthea Hamilton

 
 
  • Biography

    Hamilton has reinstalled our exhibition Kettle's Yard at The Hepworth Wakefield which has been on display since May 2016, while Kettle's Yard is closed for renovation.  

    Based on her research into the art and objects of the Kettle’s Yard collection, Hamilton has re-appropriated objects from the collection, using unexpected details as starting points for new works. 

    Significantly, Hamilton has also invited several British and international artists, with whom she has either previously worked, or whose work is important to her, to contribute to this exhibition. These include: French artist Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann, British artist Nicholas Byrne, British photographer Roger Philips, German artist Daniel Sinsel, Polish artist Maria Loboda and the celebrated American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. 

    The artist has included a grand piano in her installation and a programme of live performances will take place on selected Sundays between October and March, mirroring the tradition of regular concerts in the house at Kettle’s Yard, established by its founder Jim Ede.
