I'm afraid it didn't occur to me to take photos of the buildings there, which is a shame as they're very nice, but you're going to have to do without. Also, photography wasn't permitted at the exhibition in their indoor gallery, which was also a shame as it was terrific. Called Fabric-ation, by Yinka Shonibare, it's interesting and thought-provoking, and great fun at the same time, and his use of fabric is wonderful.
Part of it was outside and so photographable, though:
Time was very tight and I had to rush round without seeing everything, so this is just a quick overview of what did see. Next time I go, I'd like to spend a whole day there - it certainly warrants it.
In the beautiful setting of the the formal garden was an exhibition of work by Hans Josephsohn:
Joan Miro:
Molecule Man 1+1+1, by Jonathan Borofsky:
The Family of Man, by Barbara Hepworth, which I loved - it's very serene, somehow:
Buddha, by Niki de Saint Phalle, which I didn't like at all. It looks like a cyclops dressed as a Mexican wrestler:
Nelly, Mark di Suvero:
I don't know, I couldn't find a label:
Damski Czepek, Ursula von Rydingsvard - it looks like a lace bonnet:
Seated Figures, Magdalena Abakanowicz:
Sitting, Sophie Ryder:
Another unknown:
Promenade, Anthony Caro:
Possibly another Caro, I'm not sure:
Invasion, Michael Zwingmann - it looks very like those plastic-wrapped bales of hay you see in fields!
123454321, Sol LeWitt
There was then a game of Hunt the Gormley. According to the map, I was in the right area, but where was it? Look up!
One and Other, Antony Gormley:
Tread Pad Pair 1, James Capper:
Part of Bee Library, though I missed the artist's name:
Definitely not sculpture!
Seventy One Steps, David Nash
Uptight Motives 1, 2 and 3, by Henry Moore (with added sheep):
The YSP has a large collection of Moore's work, but I'd run out of time so these were all I had the chance to see. Definitely a reason for going back.
And finally, a farewell view over the lake to the magnificent Emley Moor tower:
