Description
Kettle's Yard Cambridge was founded by H.S. 'Jim' Ede as a place where visitors would 'find a home and a welcome, a refuge of peace and order, the visual arts and music.' The collection is intended to reflect life during the past 50 years.
For sixteen years, Kettle's Yard was Jim Ede's home, a former curator at the Tate Gallery, London, and his wife, Helen. It houses Ede's art collection, reflecting the first half of the twentieth century. The collection includes paintings by Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Alfred Wallis, Christopher Wood, David Jones, Joan Miró and many others, along with sculpture artists including Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Constantin Brancusi, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
Paintings and sculpture are interlaced with furniture, glass, ceramics and natural objects.
Kettle's Yard is open Tuesdays to Sundays and to look around you will need to ring the bell and ask to view the displays.
