Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum St. Ives. The Tate Gallery occupies a spectacular site overlooking Porthmeor Beach. A four storey building, the Tate provides 5 gallery spaces in which to display distinct groups of work. St. Ives became the haunt of artists following a visit by Turner in the 1880s. Sickert and Whistler worked here and many others followed in their wake. Ben Nicholson and Peter Lanyon began a new wave this century and Bernard Leach started a pottery at Higher Stennack. Under the auspices of The Tate Gallery, the Barbara Hepworth Museum celebrates the work of Dame Barbara Hepworth through a gallery, archives and delightful garden setting.
