Beyond Limits @ Chatsworth House

Mark Quinn - Planet

What could be more fun than an incredible sculpture exhibition at a stately home in England? If that appeals to you, then get yourself over to Chatsworth House (home of the Duke & Duchess of Devonshire, above) and see Beyond Limits, a selling exhibit of modern and contemporary sculptures, co-sponsored by Sotheby's.

Zaha Hadid - Kloris


The last time this was held, they sold nearly all of the 22 sculptures. The exhibition runs from September 9 until November 2, 2008.

Claude Lalanne - Pomme de New York 2006

Hmmmm... I will be there then!

  7. That photo with the giant floating baby and the prim and proper looking couple holding an umbrella is just too, too wonderful.

  9. Again, you find images that are fresh to me. I had seen some but not the Indiana piece installed. Good research.

    Have a wonderful trip!!

  10. How fun! I love sculpture in the garden, especially if it is tongue-in-cheek or unexpected. Isn't Chatsworth House where they filmed the new P&P?

  11. I had seen a few photos of "Planet" but had no idea of the scale until now. I wish I could visit for the exhibition and for the house.
