First visit to this amazing place - why did I leave it so long to visit!!? I thought I would have long enough with 4 hours - was about the last car to leave and didn't see it all! ...means a trip back...what a shame!!
The only one of its kind, Yorkshire Sculpture Park is an international centre for modern and contemporary art, open-air displays by some of the world’s finest artists, and exhibitions throughout four stunning galleries. Difficult to chose a favourite but I loved the 'everything is connected piece' by Peter Liversidge, have personal liking for text in art: http://www.ysp.co.uk/whats-on/open-air/peter-liversidge so enjoyed seeing this. Also liked the quotes at the Long Gallery and seeing the Henry Moore sculptures in the beautiful outdoor setting.

Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz returns to YSP with the UK premiere of her monumental sculpture, 'Ten Seated Figures'
Sophie Ryder:
Sophie Ryder's association with YSP began in 1986 during her residency, immediately after graduating from the RA Schools. In 2008 YSP held a major exhibition of her work at Longside Gallery and in the open air, after two important pieces were kindly offered on long term loan
Peter Liversidge’s work is driven by an exploration of creativity and the importance of ‘the idea’. Inspired by conceptual art, he creates artworks and performances, often humorous, in a diverserange of media.
Julian Opie:
Born in London in 1958, Julian Opie studied at Goldsmiths College and emerged as an influential figure in the 1980s. Towards the end of the decade Opie’s sculptures became larger, more austere and minimal, and were often based on the relationship between art and architecture.
Michael Zwingmann, born in Hanover in 1964, is concerned with making sculptures that interact with their environments.
Invasion consists of five cylindrical forms sited on a former football field, which from a distance resemble giant black hay bales. Closer inspection, however, reveals the solidity and potential menace of the material and the work demonstrates a collision between the man-made and natural worlds.

Tom Price
YSP presents a solo exhibition of sculpture, animation and work on paper by British artist Tom Price, including the open-air premiere of Network, the young artist's largest bronze to date.
The exhibition, in the Bothy Gallery and Lakeside, traces the evolution of Price's approach to the male figure. Price describes this as a dual enquiry into his own white British and black Jamaican heritage as well as the identity of the black male in sculpture and culture history.

Richard Long: Upper LakeLong developed his ideas around walking as art throughout the 1970s, making works in increasingly challenging and remote terrains and documenting the walks as text, maps and photographs.

David Nash:
Site-specific works at YSP by internationally acclaimed artist David Nash include Seventy-one Steps, a commission on the walking route to Longside Gallery made in 2010, and two works made during the artist’s 1982 residency, Three Stones for Three Trees and Barnsley Lump.
A new commission Black Mound, which overlooks the Park’s historic lakes and references the natural cycle of wood, was created by Nash in December 2013. The work is made from coal and oak charred black, through carefully controlled burning.

Henry Moore
significant group of sculptures by Henry Moore in the Yorkshire landscape, a region resonant with Moore's early memories and a seminal influence.
Ursula Von Rydingsvard
Inspired by everyday environments and objects, Ursula Von Rydingsvard has developed a personal artistic language using raw materials to create sculpture that reveals the mark of the maker.
Woodlands on the park filled with an amazing display of bluebells- gorgeous.
