Editor's pick
You think of Hepworth and you think of pierced bronze and white plaster — the St Ives palette of nothing. The Courtauld has gathered the works that are emphatically not that: red, blue, yellow, painted-into-the-cavity colour. A small show, a big argument, a complete reset of the artist.
