Tate St. Ives A branch of the Tate Gallery in London, Tate St. Ives
recognises the unique contributions of the St. Ives area to the heritage of art
in Britain, particularly in the 20th century. The area became a thriving artists'
colony in the years following WWII, with special popularity among avant-garde
and abstract artists. Among the first 20th century artists to popularise St. Ives
were Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo. The museum, which was
officially opened by Prince Charles in 1993, is wonderfully situated overlooking
Porthmeor, a popular surfing beach. Quite apart from the art represented in the
museum, the building itself is striking, and has been the recipient of several
architectural awards. The pieces of art on display at the Tate are rotated
from among the 300 or so works in the museum collection. There are also regular
exhibitions of contemporary art and educational programmes. Details
