I have decided to keep the number of pieces of work on display in the gallery down to five. Each piece needs to be by a well known artist and essentially must fit in to its surroundings.
1. Sitting Man 2, bronze, 1986, Elisabeth Frink
The first work I have chosen to use is Sitting Man 2 by Elisabeth Frink made out of bronze in 1986. The
man in the sculpture appears to confidently look out into the distance. If we place the work in the gallery he'll look confidently over the landscape of the gallery. Being one of the key outdoor artists of the 20th century it seems fitting to include her work!
2. Figure for Landscape, bronze, 1960, Barbara Hepworth.
Hepworth believed that sculpture is made to be incorporated into a landscape. Her love for creating forms for outdoor display is captured in Figure for Landscape. A popular interpretation for this work is that it resembles a figure emerging from within a landscape. It is designed to be incorporated into a landscape and therefore it seems fitting to include it within the gardens.
3. Family Group, bronze , 1950, Henry Moore
Henry Moore's sculptures based around family are amongst the best known sculptures in the world. This piece in particular captures the love and unity of the family. It displays unconditional love for one another and is therefore an ideal sculpture to display in the gallery.
4. One of Two Oak Stacks, Andy Goldsworthy 2003
Goldsworthy creates land art in his practice. Making work to fit into the surroundings from materials he finds in the surroundings. Therefore due to the strong link to nature in this particular work I want to definitely include it!
5. , Sky Mirror, polished stainless steel, 2006, Anish Kapoor
This piece shall fit in well too! It reflects different aspects of the landscape it's situated in and abstracts the natural surroundings capturing a fascination from the viewer. Again the piece shall be a great addition to the gallery as it revolves around the concept of nature.
