Kettle's Yard Art & Artists

Kettle's Yard Art & Artists

Kettle’s Yard Art & Artists invites readers on an intimate journey through the remarkable collection assembled by Jim and Helen Ede. Describing himself as ‘a friend to artists’, Jim Ede was an avid letter writer and corresponded with many artists throughout his life, among them Barbara Hepworth, David Jones, Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Joan Miro and Alfred Wallis.

Filled with excerpts from Jim Ede’s writings, archival material and personal letters, this book offers a warm, accessible introduction to thirty-four of the artists in the Kettle’s Yard collection. Organised alphabetically, each chapter begins with a newly commissioned photograph of the artist’s work in-situ at Kettle’s Yard and includes selected images from the collection, as well as a short biography.

Conceived as a companion to the Kettle’s Yard House Guidebook, it’s the perfect volume for anyone wanting to deepen their connection with this unique place and its extraordinary collection.
