Belgrave St Ives is a commercial art gallery,[1] specialising in modern British and contemporary art in St Ives, Cornwall, southwest England.[2] It gives emphasis to work produced in Cornwall from the 1930s onwards, when the town of St Ives became an internationally important modernist artistic centre.[3][4][5][6]

History[edit]

The original gallery opened in 1974 in Motcomb Street, Belgravia, London. It moved to various London locations, including Mayfair, St James's, and Belsize Park[7] until a St Ives sister gallery opened in 1998. In 2010 the St Ives gallery became independent and continues as the sole remaining part of the Belgrave Gallery enterprise.[8] It maintains a programme of exhibitions of work by major artists associated with the St Ives Modern Period,[9] such as Wilhelmina Barns-Graham[10] and Terry Frost,[11] as well as representing those formerly overshadowed in conventional accounts of Modern British art recently gaining greater prominence such as Sven Berlin.[12] Works by other Modern British and contemporary artists are also shown.[13][14] An annual fixture is the St Ives Exhibition, usually in the early summer, which focuses on Modernist art[15] produced by those associated with the town. In September 2020, after 22 years in St Ives, Belgrave St Ives relocated to a rural location in Towednack, just a couple of miles from St Ives.[16][17][18]

Publications[edit]

The gallery has published books on the artists Terry Frost,[19] John Milne[20] and Patrick Hayman,[21] as well as to accompany exhibitions of work from Sven Berlin,[22] Terry Frost,[23] and artists at the Camberwell College of Arts.[24]
