W.A.Ismay collection at The Hepworth
Librarian and collector William Alfred Ismay (1910-2001) lived in Wakefield his whole life. From 1955 he began to collect pieces by some of the most renowned makers of studio pottery. His extraordinary collection of 3,600 items, by 500 makers, covered all the available surfaces of his small terraced house in Wakefield. This extraordinary collection offers an insight into the compulsive and systematic habits and protocols of a unique and unusual collector.
Taking the architectural footprint of Ismay’s house, examples of the collector’s domestic furniture and contemporary white goods, Matthew Darbyshire (b.1977 in Cambridge, UK) reframe the WA Ismay Collection at The Hepworth Wakefield.
