More on Yorkshire Sculpture Park

A few members of the Digital photography group went on the YSP trip. As stated in early post, it was a good day, at a lovely place. The main indoor exhibit of Henry Moore’s small models and his ideas for his larger works were interesting, but no photos were allowed. some poems accompanied a few of the exhibits by Stephen Armitage, which I found very moving. Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth’s large pieces graced the landscape over the park. With many other works from old and new sculptors.

Elisabeth Fink is one of a group of artist who went though WW2, as a child or adult. She was a member of the Independent Group, some of whom also had work on show.

Tom Price is a young sculpture whose work always features Black Men. some are small works others are big, as is this one at nine feet tall.

The Santillana siblings come from a long line of glass blowers. This piece and others were mounted in an 18c. Chapel.

Rob Ryan works in paper, either as prints or papercuts. I liked the papercuts, they tell a story and are also lace like. Being a lace maker these appealed to me.

The next set of photos shows part of the new installation, which opened at the beginning of September and will be in place until early January. This one is well worth a visit.

The park is also a good place for a family day out, lots of space for the children to run about, have a picnic, or use their cafes. With lots of surprise exhibits, some of which I know I missed. Another visit is needed.
