Vintage Park

Last week I visited the York Sculpture Park in Wakefield. It is the UK's first open-air gallery established way back in 1977 and includes work from many modern and contemporary artists including my personal favourites Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth....and many others too - Sol Lewitt, Tracey Emin, Julian Opie, Martin Creed and Andy Goldsworthy....

I loved this place, it is really special and worth a visit. Exhibitions showing at the moment are Al Weiwei, Fiona Banner and Brooklyn based Ursula Von Rydingsvard - this is an example of her original and beautiful work.
