Lowry, Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore as well as work by significant contemporary artists such as Phyllida Barlow, Alvaro Barrington, Jadé Fadojutimi, Anthea Hamilton, Martin Parr and Eva Rothschild.
The Hepworth Wakefield Garden, designed by award-winning landscape architect, Tom Stuart-Smith, opened in Summer 2019 and is free for all visitors.
