Jim Ede (then a curator at Tate Gallery) bought a sizeable portion of Gaudier-Brzeska's work from Sophie Brzeska's estate after she died. Her estate included numerous letters sent between Henri and Sophie, which Ede would use as the basis for his book Savage Messiah on the life and work of Gaudier-Brzeska. The majority of Ede’s collection, housed in a series of cottages in Cambridge known as Kettle’s Yard, would be gifted to as a whole to the University on Ede’s death; and remains one of the largest collections of sculptures and drawings by Gaudier.
Examples of Gaudier-Brzeska’s work are held in public collections including Ben Uri Gallery & Museum, London; Tate, London; Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge; National Gallery of Art, Washington DC; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The Ingram Collection, London; The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago.
