Summary:

Widely hailed as one of the 20th century's outstanding sculptors, this is the first solo exhibition of Smith's work in the UK since Tate Modern's 2006 project and the largest ever outside the capital. This landmark exhibition charts the development of Smith's unique visual language over four decades, crucially bringing together a number of his sculptures in the open-air that are rarely seen in this way outside the USA. Within the Underground Gallery over 30 sculptures trace an unfolding narrative of material, technique and form. Beginning with Smith's earliest constructions from the 1930s that combine wood with elements including mussel and clam shells, wire and nails, the exhibition spans work through to the artist's mature, bold, large-scale painted and stainless steel sculptures of the 1960s. Exhibition: Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield, UK (22.06.2019-05.01.2020).
