Yorkshire Sculpture P ark’s world-class temporary exhibitions programme features leading artists across the galleries and historic landscape. Recent highlights include exhibitions by Annie Morris, Daniel Arsham, Leonardo Drew, Erwin Wurm, Lindsey Mendick, Robert Indiana, Jonathan Baldock and Joana Vasconcelos. Running alongside the gallery shows are retail exhibitions by exceptional makers including Mark Hearld, Florian Gadsby, Emma Lawrenson, Takahashi McGill, Norman Ackroyd and Annie Montgomerie.
Many of the artists with whom we work generously support YSP through the sharing of an artwork to accompany their exhibitions. Any artwork purchase contributes vital funds to YSP’s charitable activity. As we head towards our 50th anniversary in 2027, we want to ensure that YSP is here for future generations.
This eclectic group of artworks represents the breadth of our artistic programme and is a unique opportunity to own work by an internationally renowned artist.
Arts Council England’s Own Art scheme is an easy way to buy contemporary art by living UK artists. Borrow anything from £100 to £2,500 and then pay back the loan in 10 monthly installments – interest free.
Mimesis has been generously created and donated by Bharti Kher in support of her exhibition Alchemies , which opens at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in June 2024.
It will be Kher’s most extensive UK museum presentation to date and is highly ambitious in size and scope. The exhibition centres the female body and explores transformative potential in a display that brings together intimate works in light-filled gallery spaces with monumental sculpture in the landscape. Alchemies will ignite the imagination and bring Kher’s work to a new and diverse audience, shaping meaningful and inspirational encounters.
Mimesis is a small limited edition of bindis on paper with a mix of lithograph and silkscreen techniques. The bindis are applied by hand on the paper.
This limited edition revisits Bharti Kher's famous series of bindis paintings, a captivating exploration of identity, femininity, and culture. By using thousands of bindis, small colored dots traditionally worn on the forehead in India, Kher creates vibrant and evocative artworks. Each bindi, with its own history and significance, becomes an essential element in the construction of her pieces. Through this series, the artist questions notions of diversity, connection, and transformation.
The acquisition of Mimesis is via donation to YSP, so the gift is zero rated for tax. All proceeds support YSP’s charitable mission to encourage access to outstanding art and creative learning for everyone.

NORMAN ACKROYD RA
Born in Leeds in 1938, Norman Ackroyd attended Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art in the 1960s. For more than 60 years he has travelled around Britain documenting the interrelationship of landscape and its human inhabitants throughout history. Ackroyd is one of the most distinguished and foremost landscape artists and contemporary printmakers in the UK.
This limited edition etching was produced to accompany Ackroyd’s solo exhibition, The Furthest Lands in 2017–18, and derived from YSP’s unique landscape. Bretton Hall (2018) features the iconic mansion house and its surrounding woodland, reflected in the Lower Lake.

DANIEL ARSHAM
Daniel Arsham lives and works in New York. Arsham’s sculptures appear as archaeological remnants of our time that he describes as ‘future relics’. His artistic practice is underpinned by the formative childhood experience of surviving a hurricane which destroyed his family home and everything around it. Reflecting this, the works are partially decayed and explore regeneration represented by real crystals that have been cast in bronze.
Four limited editions accompany the artist’s YSP exhibition, Relics in the Landscape , the first UK museum display of Arsham’s work.
Eroded Safari is an edition based on Arsham’s custom-built ’86 Porsche Safari, fabricated by American racing car driver, Leh Keen.

This edition is based on a painting made by the artist for his solo show at König Galerie in 2021. The painting depicts a scene 1000 years into the future or in the past where humans explore a cavern containing a colossal crumbling sculpture of the Greek seer, Laocoön. Arsham’s use of scale and perspective references the 19th Century German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich.

HEMALI BHUTA
Hemali Bhuta was Creative India Visiting Artist at YSP during the summer of 2012 and has a particular interest in making work in response to environments and their materials. Bhuta spent time walking around and getting to know the Bretton Estate, becoming drawn to the trees and their related folklores.
Speed Breakers (2012) are the roots of a fallen beech tree, whose bark was traditionally thought to ward off snakes. Cast in bronze, they are installed among the prominent tree roots on Oxley Bank. Bhuta created a special limited edition bronze ‘root’ from the same beech tree, available exclusively at YSP.
Having trained at the LS Raheja School of Art, Mumbai, and MS University, Baroda, Bhuta has exhibited and worked all over the world. She often creates site-specific installations in perishable materials, to explore ideas of process and permanence.

TONY CRAGG RA
Tony Cragg created three etchings exclusively for YSP to mark his 2017 exhibition, A Rare Category of Objects . The etchings belong to the group of Manipulations (2006) and the Branching Line (1990) and present the opportunity to own this singular artist’s work.
Cragg is one of the world’s most acclaimed sculptors. He constantly seeks to find new relations between people and the material world. There is no limit to the materials he might use, or the ideas or forms he might conceive.
Cragg was born in Liverpool, UK in 1949 and has lived and worked in Germany since 1977. He represented Britain at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 1988 and in the same year was awarded the Turner Prize. In 2016 Cragg was appointed Knight’s Bachelor in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for his service to the visual arts and Anglo-German relations.

YSP and Tony Cragg present Senders , an edition of seven stunning bronze sculptures with six remaining available. Each sculpture is finished with its own distinct patina and incised with the artist’s signature and the foundry mark of Kayer Düsseldorf.
Senders forms part of an important wider series of the same name, encompassing domestic scale bronzes through to a monumental iteration in fibreglass that stands over six metres tall. They all belong to the family of work described by Cragg as Rational Beings . These sculptural works, that have their genesis in Cragg’s early stacked forms, meld abstraction and figuration. Human profiles and fleeting suggestions of the figure fade in and out of view.
The edition has been very generously consigned to YSP by the artist, which will make a significant contribution to supporting our ongoing work.
Nigel Hall is one of Britain’s most distinguished sculptors. Principally made of steel, aluminium or polished wood, his geometric sculptural works are concerned with three dimensional space, mass and line. Along with abstract drawings, his work gives as much prominence to voids and shadows as to the solidity of material. Each piece changes with light and viewpoint, reflecting the landscapes or surroundings that inspire them.
Whispers was produced by renowned printmaker Norman Ackroyd from a 2007 charcoal drawing by Nigel Hall through etching processes known as sugar lift and spit bite aquatint. This limited edition print accompanied Hall’s exhibition, Sculpture & Drawing , at YSP in 2008.

MARK HEARLD x LEACH POTTERY
Created exclusively for the 2021 YSP exhibition, Raucous Invention: The Joy of Making, these platters were thrown and decorated in the original studio of Bernard Leach at Leach Pottery in St. Ives, Cornwall. Leach Pottery is one of the most respected and influential potteries in the world.
The works were hand thrown by lead potter, Roelof Uys in a rough stoneware clay with high iron content from St. Agnes in Cornwall. The glaze used, Shino (terracotta) is from an original recipe by Svend Bayer. The platters were then decorated by Mark Hearld using paper stencils, slips and sgraffito mark making onto wet clay. There are four available from a series of 30 unique designs.
Mark Hearld is a Yorkshire-based artist and designer. He works across a number of mediums, producing lithographic and linocut prints, paintings, collages and hand-painted ceramics, taking inspiration from the flora and fauna of the British countryside.

ROBERT INDIANA
A major figure in American art since the 1960s, Robert Indiana was a painter, sculptor and printmaker. His highly original work explores American identity, personal history, and the power of language. Created in 1964, Indiana’s LOVE image is recognised as one of the most iconic images of 20th century art.
The 2022 YSP exhibition, Robert Indiana: Sculpture 1958–2018 presented the first major exhibition of Indiana’s sculpture in Europe, comprising fifty indoor works across sculpture, painting and print, and six significant works installed in YSP’s historic parkland. It drew on the artist’s personal life and key themes that remain relevant today.
This print was acquired from the Morgan Art Foundation to generously support the work of YSP.

ALFREDO JAAR
Alfredo Jaar adapted this print from a photograph taken from inside one of the cells that make up his permanent installation, The Garden of Good and Evil . This work was commissioned to coincide with the major exhibition of the same name at YSP in 2017 by the Chilean-born artist.
Regarded as one of the world’s most politically engaging yet poetic artists, Jaar is also an architect and filmmaker who addresses humanitarian trauma, inequalities, and injustices around the world. The original version of the installation was displayed outside the Underground Gallery.
Generously donated by Jaar and a/ political (an organisation dedicated to the support and promotion of artists working within a sociopolitical framework), the work is now permanently installed within woodland at YSP, where visitors are invited to walk amongst the trees to discover the hidden structures. The catalogue of this installation is also available here.

JOAN MIR Ó
Joan Miró was one of the most significant figures in 20th century European art and in 2020 YSP curated a major exhibition of his work. He had several major retrospectives following his first show in 1941 at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. He won the Venice Biennale Grand Prix in 1954 and was awarded the Spanish Gold Medal of Fine Arts in 1980.
Miró made graphic work throughout his career, embracing many different printmaking techniques. From 1959 he had a dedicated print studio in Son Boter, Palma de Mallorca and his devotion to printmaking expressed a desire to disseminate his work to a broad public.
The following rare limited edition lithographs and etchings were shared by the artist’ s successors, and featured in YSP ’s 2020 exhibition of Miro’s prints.
These two lithographs are part of a series of three named after the location of Miró’s Mallorcan studio.

This Miró sculpture is the first in an edition of six bronzes and was exhibited as part of the Miró: Sculptor exhibition at YSP in 2012. It was cast in 1993 by the Parellada Foundry in Barcelona and generously shared by the Successió Miró to support YSP ’s charitable work.
A ceramic plate from the Gallifa ceramics workshop of Josep Llorens Artigas serves as the sculpture’s base. Artigas worked closely with Miró on his ceramic pieces and bronze sculptures. Carved on the surface of the plate is an aperture resembling a grinning mouth, complete with nails which stand for eyes, while kneaded clay forms the feet. A wire antenna tops the sculpture, a reference to the title, Oiseau . Miró enjoyed working on this scale and was amused by the thought of visitors interacting with his sculptural works.
This is a special opportunity to own a rare bronze by one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Inspired by their global research trips, Lucy + Jorge Orta's collaborative practice across drawing, sculpture and performance explores some of the 21st century’s most pressing issues, including biodiversity, environmental sustainability and climate change.
Designed exclusively to coincide with the artists’ 2013 YSP exhibition, the inspiration for this work derives from Lucy + Jorge Orta’s expedition to the Peruvian Amazon and drawings from their Amazonia series. The verse is taken from the artists’ film Amazonia , written by eco-poet Mario Petrucci.
Royal Limoges porcelain has been used in the production of this edition, created with a four-colour enamel process with platinum silver accents. Each plate is inscribed with the original artists’ drawings and is signed and numbered on the reverse.
This porcelain plate is in an edition of 50 with two unique designs.

Born in Dublin, raised in London, and a resident of New York since 1975, Sean Scully is considered to be one of the most important abstract painters working today. Drawing on European traditions but with the distinct character and scale prevalent in the USA, Scully is credited with reinvigorating abstract painting. He has exhibited widely in Europe and the United States, and is represented in the permanent collections of a number of museums and public galleries worldwide as well as the American Embassy in London.
This limited edition aquatint was made specially for Scully’s 2018 YSP exhibition, Inside Outside , and relates to the artist’s Landline series of paintings. It was generously shared by the artist to support YSP’s charitable work.

BILL VIOLA
In 2015, YSP presented Bill Viola’s most extensive exhibition in the UK for over 10 years. To support YSP, Viola released a rare limited edition lithographic print of a drawing, featuring text from the 16thcentury Sufi romance, Madhumalati . Written by the Indian Sufi mystic Mir Sayyid Manjhan Shattari Rajgiri, Madhumalati tells the love story of prince Manohar and princess Madhumalati who must suffer separation and self-transformation before coming together in true happiness.
Bill Viola is recognised as one of today’s most acclaimed artists. He has established video as a vital form of contemporary art, expanding its scope in terms of technology, content and historical reach. Viola’s video installations envelop the viewer in a landscape of image and sound, and are distinguished by their precision and direct simplicity.
Viola represented the USA at the 46th Venice Biennale in 1995 and his work has been the subject of large solo survey exhibitions at institutions around the world.
