The international impact of rural Ryedale radical Herbert Read is celebrated in a new exhibition, Yorkshire Modern, which runs from 9 July to 4 September 2011 at the Ryedale Folk Museum located on the North Yorkshire Moors.
The show brings together major works by artists including Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Sir Terry Frost and others on loan from major collections, including the Tate, Arts Council and Leeds Art Gallery Collections, and represents the extent of Herbert Read's impact on the direction and development of British Modern Art in the twentieth century. This exhibition is part of Art in Yorkshire - supported by Tate, a year long celebration of the visual arts throughout Yorkshire. Works from Tate's Collection of historic, modern and contemporary art will be showcased through a compelling programme of exhibitions and events.
