About

This September Yorkshire Sculpture Park showcases a spellbinding project by James Lee Byars (1932-1997), the beguiling artist known for work that touches upon philosophy and poetry. The Angel (1989) is a group of 125 spheres of hand-blown Murano glass, set in graceful curves that resemble a fleurs-de-lis. YSP presents this project, initiated for the 2009 Venice Biennale, on the original stone floor of the mid-18th century Bretton Estate Chapel. The piece will be seen alongside a gold leafed wall, and will be a beautiful contemplative statement.
