Artists for Kettle's Yard

19 March - 8 May 2011

Works for sale in aid of the Kettle's Yard Development Appeal - over £180,000 already raised through sales over the first weekend and many works still available.

Most of the work in this exhibition is for sale at Kettle's Yard. There is no VAT and many works are at discounted prices. The prices are included in the catalogue which can be downloaded as a PDF (link left).

As fundraising towards a new education wing gathers momentum we present an exhibition of works donated by artists to Kettle’s Yard. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see some of the biggest names in contemporary art - from major sculptures by Damien Hirst, David Nash, Phyllida Barlow and Antony Gormley to sumptuous paintings by Michael Craig-Martin, Bridget Riley, Lisa Milroy, Callum Innes and Maggi Hambling, and ceramics by Edmund de Waal and Natasha Daintry. Donations have come from many quarters and include former Artist Fellows: Tony Carter, Stephen Chambers, Jane Dixon and Paul Winstanley; recent exhibitors: Ian McKeever, Alan Reynolds, Michelle Charles, Helena Almeida, David Ward, Karla Black and Claire Barclay; Cambridge artists: Lida Cardozo Kindersley, Elspeth Owen, Michael Brick and Jon Harris and artists such as John Blackburn and John Golding who have a long association with Kettle’s Yard.

Alongside these are gifts from the estates of Kenneth Martin, Barbara Hepworth and Josef and Anni Albers. The range of artists, as well as collectors, donating to the exhibition reflects the scope of the exhibition programme that Kettle’s Yard has presented. Their generous support is an indication of the value they place on the gallery.

Many of the works are available for sale in the exhibition.
As well as the education wing, the development will bring a new project gallery, an extended art library, proper collection storage and a cafe. So far over £2 million has been raised. To find out more about the proposed development please go to the development pages of our web site ».

"Kettle's Yard is an invaluable visual resource for the university and town that combines a foundational collection made at the birth of modernism in Britain with an evolving programme of contemporary art. Kettle's Yard is a necessary balance to the historical collections of the Fitzwilliam and a lively and living place to experience art." Antony Gormley
