Blue Plaque for Barbara Hepworth’s London Studio
English Heritage has unveiled a new blue plaque today (30 October), commemorating one of the 20th century’s greatest artists and ground-breaking sculptor, Barbara Hepworth, alongside her first husband and critically acclaimed fellow sculptor John Skeaping. The new plaque will mark the 24 St Ann’s Terrace in St John’s Wood, where Hepworth and Skeaping lived in 1927 and where they held a joint exhibition (Hepworth’s first ever) in the studio at the back of the house. It was in this studio – a former billiards room – that Hepworth created one of her earliest Mother and Child sculptures, a motif that recurred frequently in her work throughout the 1930s.
