A montage representing the new location and exhibition spaces of Belgrave St Ives
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
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]
