Hogarth: Industry and Idleness
Spring 2009 sees the Graves showcase a series of prints by the masterful forefather of the political cartoon, William Hogarth. A veritable 18th century comic strip, Industry and Idleness tells the story of two apprentices, one who follows the ‘good’ path in life, Francis Goodchild, and one who strays from the road of the righteous, Tom Idle. These prints, from Sheffield’s own collection, offer a rich window on Georgian London and show perfectly Hogarth’s eye for detail and caricature.
To Sat 29th August 2009
  Moore | Hepworth | Nicholson
A Nest of Gentle Artists in the 1930s
In the early 1930s a group of artists including Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and Ben Nicholson took several creative holidays at Happisburgh on the Norfolk coast.
During these influential summer breaks, the three found inspiration in the surrounding coastline, its weathered stones and pebbles, and the beauty of the natural forms they discovered around them. This exhibition recalls those creative holidays – the friendships formed, the work produced, and most importantly their influence of the development of modern art in Britain. As well as key works by Moore, Hepworth and Nicholson, the exhibition will also include work by John Skeaping, Barbara Hepworth’s husband at the time of the Happisburgh holidays.

Out of the Ordinary: Spectacular Craft
Time-honoured techniques. Exquisite craft. Spectacular contemporary art.
the extraordinary in the everyday. a new free exhibition featuring meticulous workmanship and skill at the heart of every work. Presented by the V&A and Crafts Council, Out of the Ordinary: Spectacular Craft will bring together the work of artists from the UK, America, Nigeria, China and Japan. Taking inspiration from the familiar and the forgotten, each of these artists has used traditional craft techniques to produce stunning contemporary works. Employing traditional skills, including embroidery, wood carving, lace-making and marquetry, the artists play with extremes of scale or re-work precious, ephemeral or everyday materials to create new and striking effects.
To Sun 25th October 2009
 
Timorous Beasties presents A Bird in the Hand
Glasgow-based Timorous Beasties is one of the hottest design studios currently working in the UK. A new exhibition by the duo in the Millennium Gallery, based on inspiration found in The John Ruskin collection of art and artefacts. Timorous Beasties presents A Bird in the Hand will see the designers embrace and subvert the traditional Victorian aesthetics of the 19th century to surreal and provocative effect. Illustrations and ornithological specimens from the Ruskin collection will form the basis of a range of new fabrics, in turn adorning everything from lamp shades to furniture to create a veritable 21st century Victorian parlour in the Millennium Gallery.
