Jim Ede, creator of Kettle’s Yard, acquired the estate of Henri Gaudier-Brzeska after his death and Kettle’s Yard now contains one of the largest collections of his work.
Kettle’s Yard has unveiled its 2012 New Music Series featuring 12 cutting edge concerts performed by world class musicians.
Running now until November 20 Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge is exhibiting the work of Bridget Riley, one the world’s most celebrated abstract artists. Collected over the span of her fifty year career, Riley’s work is an engaging example of the ‘Op Art’ movement.
From October 2011, Ronald Brautigam will perform in one of sixteen riveting chamber music concerts in Cambridge. Both internationally acclaimed artists and rising stars will perform amongst the artworks in the intimate setting of the House at Kettle’s Yard. World-renowned countertenor Michael Chance opens the Series on 27 October with a magical programme of songs by Purcell, Butterworth and Schubert. Harpsichordist Maggie Cole will accompany him.
Kettle’s Yard is delighted to announce the appointment of Andrew Nairne as its Director in succession to Michael Harrison.
Painter, author and filmmaker Andrew Lanyon seems to have achieved the impossible as he combines the histories of Nazi Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop and Cornish fisherman-turned-painter Alfred Wallis in the new exhibition at Kettle’s Yard.

Damian Hirst, Antony Gormley and Maggie Hambling are just three of the artists to have donated works to a major exhibition at Kettle’s Yard – many of which are to be sold as part of a £5m fundraising appeal.
