Frieze Sculpture is always an absolute treat. Located in The English Gardens of Regents Park, a range of works by 20th Century and Contemporary artists are featured, selected by Clare Lilley, Director of Programme at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The exhibition is open to all and completely free.
‘From the playful to the political, these 25 works explore contemporary sculpture’s material and technical dexterity, together with its social role and reflection on the human condition and our environment’ Clare Lilley
I took a wander through after my visit to Frieze 2019 and snapped some of the pieces before the late afternoon light faded. It was a lovely time to visit, leaves rustling underfoot, squirrels foraging for nuts, students sat sketching in circles and delighted tourists who had stumbled upon the exhibition by accident.

‘Lilley has deliberately chosen works that reflect contrasting moods and sensibilities: there’s dark and troubling subject matter, exuberant eye-candy, illusion and trickery, charming modesty and cocksure monumentality. Throughout, there are gasp-inducing technical and engineering feats.’ Ben Luke, Evening Standard
