Dorothy Hepworth and Patricia Preece: An Untold Story
Until 8th September 2024
Currently on view at Charleston's gallery in Lewes, Dorothy Hepworth and Patricia Preece: An Untold Story uncovers the remarkable story of the early 20th century artistic duo, Dorothy Hepworth (1894 – 1978) and Patricia Preece (1894 – 1966).
Through paintings, drawings, and memorabilia, the exhibition tells the secrets of these two women artists' romantic relationship and professional partnership, reveling how Preece exhibited and sold Hepworth’s paintings under her own name. They fooled collectors and fellow artist friends, from Duncan Grant, Augustus John to Clive Bell, who believed were Preece’s paintings for their ‘psychological’ depth.
The exhibition takes place at Charleston in Lewes, their new cultural centre in the heart of the town.
When: From 27th March until 8th September 2024.
Where: Charleston in Lewes, Sussex.
Tickets: £14, Concessions available. Visit the Charleston website to book your tickets.
