An art gallery has successfully secured sufficient funds to buy a Dame Barbara Hepworth sculpture, after reaching the target of £3.8m.
Sculpture With Colour (Oval Form) Pale Blue And Red will go on permanent public display at the Hepworth Wakefield after pre-empting its 27 August deadline to raise the funds.
The gallery received more than 2,800 donations from the public, as well as £1.89m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and a £750,000 grant from Art Fund, alongside support from various other trusts and foundations.
Olivia Colling, interim director and CEO at the Hepworth Wakefield, said Dame Barbara would be “delighted” so many people ensured the piece can be displayed in her hometown.
