One of the UK’s most remarkable collections of 20th century art

Kettle’s Yard the University of Cambridge’s modern and contemporary art gallery

Kettle’s Yard is a beautiful house that contains a remarkable collection of

modern art. In the house you can find paintings and sculptures by some of

the great names of early 20th century art including Brancusi, Miró, Henry

Moore, Ben and Winifred Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth, Henri Gaudier-

Brzeska and Christopher Wood. Works of art are interspersed with natural

objects and the house remains largely as it was when its pioneering founder,

Jim Ede, lived here. As in Jim’s time, in the afternoons visitors are invited to

ring on the bell and come and explore this inspiring house and collection.

We are developing the site at Kettle’s Yard,

during this time, our normal activities are reduced, but

there are exciting new things to explore onsite, offsite

and online. This summer, work by our Associate Artists

will be on view in the gallery and, in September, in

St Peter’s Church, next to Kettle’s Yard.

Introducing Kettle’s Yard’s Associate Artists, this display presents work by Matei Bejenaru, Matthew Darbyshire, Lorna Macintyre and Jeremy Millar alongside objects, artworks or archive materials they have selected from the Kettle’s Yard collection.

We have commissioned these four artists to make new work in response to Kettle’s Yard. They will be sharing their ideas and processes, presenting their work onsite, offsite and online over the course of the coming year.

Bejenaru has chosen a photograph that Stieglitz sent to Jim Ede, and Macintyre is looking at photographs taken by Brancusi of his own work, while Darbyshire and Millar have selected a range of objects and artworks from the house.

This display is an opportunity to learn more about their work and some less familiar aspects of our collection.
