This summer Yorkshire Sculpture Park presents a major exhibition by South African artist William Kentridge. It marks the artist's first museum presentation outside South Africa to focus on his sculpture.
The exhibition is comprised of over 40 works made between 2007 and 2024, this ambitious project will fill the Underground Gallery, with outdoor works presented in the surrounding gardens.
Over the last two decades, sculpture has increasingly become a key part of Kentridge’s practice, taking drawing into three dimensions and developing from puppetry, film and stage props. This exciting new exhibition includes a selection of the artist’s sculpture from this period across different scales and media, including bronze, steel, paper, cardboard, plaster, wood and found objects.
Several works will be displayed for the first time, including a new commission of six monumental coloured sculptures, Paper Procession, on parade in YSP’s historic landscape.
The exhibition is generously supported by the Sakana Foundation in addition to Goodman Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, and Lia Rumma Gallery. Supported by the William Kentridge Exhibition Circle. Additional support from Stonehage Fleming.
