Chatsworth ~ Beyond Limits ~ 2012/14 ...

Size matters ! At least when it comes to Barry Flanagan's hares ...

We're down to the penultimate exhibit ~ 'Large Nijinski on Anvil Point' ...

Here's a question, are these bronze sculptures solid ?

I think they got the positioning of this sculpture right too ~ at the far end of the Canal Pond. At the other end is the house itself ...

    1. I wonder what it is about it that appeals. The fact that it is so impossible on so many levels perhaps ?

  2. I like it... but it would be a tad too large for my backyard.

  4. I'm having a reaction to the hare sculptures that really came out of no where. They increasingly remind me of an old boyfriend. 'Nuff said.
