Tate - National treasure. International success. Discover Hepworth before 25 October

Barbara Hepworth: Sculpture for a Modern World

Alongside Hepworth's sculptures discover fascinating photographs, rarely seen textiles, collages, film and selected works by her peers and predecessors from Jacob Epstein to Henry Moore.
