This March, a major new UK sculpture park will open in the grounds of Compton Verney, featuring work by eight modern and contemporary artists drawn from around the world, including an important new commission by Brazilian artist Erika Verzutti (b.1971).
The sculpture park will stage a radical reinvention of the grounds, as modern and contemporary sculpture transforms the Georgian setting. Works by Sarah Lucas (b.1962), Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), Helen Chadwick (1953-1996), Permindar Kaur (b.1965), Larry Achiampong (b.1984), Nicolas Deshayes (b.1983) and Augustas Serapinas (b.1990) will be found amongst the wildlife, oak, ash and lime trees, wildflower meadows and bridges that were first laid out by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in 1768.
