On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the BEYOND LIMITS exhibition, the tenth edition of the exhibition of monumental sculptures organized in Chatsworth, Sotheby's has invited the authoritative art historian Tim Marlow, artistic director of the Royal Academy of London, to join the team of specialists of Sotheby's in creating an innovative exhibition. Bringing together the works of the greatest sculptors in the large estate, Beyond Limits: The Landscape Of British Sculpture 1950-2015 it will offer a spectacular overview of English sculpture from the middle of the XNUMXth century; the works will be set in one of the largest estates in Europe, owned by the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.
Over the past nine years, Sotheby's Beyond Limits has established itself as one of the most prestigious platforms for the exhibition and sale of monumental modern and contemporary sculpture, as well as representing a key appointment in the art world calendar.
The idea comes from Melanie Clore, President of Sotheby's Europe, who commented: “Since its inception, Beyond Limits has proven to be an amazing and exhilarating annual arts event. On its XNUMXth anniversary, we are delighted to present our first themed exhibition, and to have Tim Marlow alongside Simon Stock, our Senior International Specialist, pooling their experiences and mutual expertise to cap off this extraordinary sculpture exhibition Englishmen at Chatsworth Estate.”
Tim marlow comments: "Combining important monumental sculptures with the beautiful gardens of Chatsworth, we have allowed us to devise an exhibition that responds to the growing interest in monumental sculpture and that explores and celebrates the rise of British sculpture. The relationship between the landscape and the exhibited works is total – both when they were directly inspired by the site and when conceived in contrast with the landscape that welcomes them. The result, I hope, will be a lively and inventive conversation between some of the best British sculpture of the last 65 years and one of the largest and most magnificent country houses in England.”
