Dame Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) has most of her studio converted to a museum but with works in progress in plaster and stone workshops left as-is in situ at the Barbara Hepworth Museum in St Ives, Cornwall.

From memory they share one thing: They're pretty messy. Margaret Olley's is maybe the worst, she kept still life tableaux for decades, painted them many times. It's nice to see the work reflected on the wall and see the still life as-is.

#4Clifton Pugh's Dunmoochin (original) is part of national heritage now, and still used as an artists retreat as part of the Dunmoochin Foundation in outer Melbourne.
Dunmoochin is historically significant as the home and studio of the internationally famous artist, Clifton Pugh, three times Archibald Prize winner and founder of the Dunmoochin Artist's Community. The property exemplifies the values and robust way of life of the artistic community that settled in this area in the 1950s.

Albert Namatjira's "studio" was the entirety of the MacDonnell Ranges in Central Australia .. that's still there much as he saw it last, albeit more encroached by white ants.

#6Far away from NYC we (on the internet) got to watch this happen in near real time after Grant Imahara's tragic death. I can't quite put the feeling into words.

#7Dalí's home and studio are open for public tours in Cadaqués (Catalunya), Spain. Worth a visit. The museum in Figueres is … okay. If you're a fan, go instead to the Dalí museum in Saint Petersburg, Florida. It's amazing and has many of his large-format masterworks, including Hallucinogenic Toreador.

There’s also a decent Dali museum / gallery in Paris!

I’ve been there highly recommend; check out the gardens he has what I can only describe as psychedelic elephant statues in the gardens that are pretty wild.
You’re walking down a path, and out of the corner of your eye within view down a row in the foliage, kind of visible will be a surreal looking elephant-thing will appear tall as can be.
Really really cool.
