About The Work
The Hepworth Wakefield has released a new print for sale from artist Veronica Ryan for the 2023 iteration of School Prints. Each artist was carefully selected and commissioned by The Hepworth Wakefield to create new work for the culmination of the project due to their remarkable contributions to the gallery. The sales of the edition fund an engagement project with local schools.
Winner of the 2022 Turner Prize, Ryan, has produced a lithograph, Coco Beans, with a screen-printed varnish. Throughout Ryan’s career, she has revisited concepts that were also important to Barbara Hepworth. Between 1998 and 2000 Veronica Ryan was the first artist to undertake a residency at Hepworth’s Palais de Dance studio in St Ives. At the time, Hepworth’s full-scale plaster prototypes which are now permanently displayed at The Hepworth Wakefield, were still housed there. In 2021, Ryan was commissioned to create work for The Hepworth Wakefield’s 10th birthday exhibition, Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life. One of these works, Cluster, was acquired for the gallery this year alongside Sweet Dreams are Made of These, a major floor-based piece incorporating ceramic casts on a fabric base.
