The exhibition of modern and contemporary sculpture around the 240 acre garden runs until 1 December 2019.
Sculpture at Wisley 2019 features the work of seminal 20th and 21st century artists: Henry Moore, Lynn Chadwick, Tracey Emin, Phillip King, Henry Bruce and Philip Haas.In addition - formally opening tomorrow - the Surrey Sculpture Society Trail has other works by more local artists and continues until 22nd September.
I've included images from both exhibitions below. If you like sculpture, Wisley is well worth a visit in the near future while both Sculpture Trails are on.

Henry Bruce
There's a Giant's Chair by Henry Bruce at the top of the Mixed Borders Hill.
The Giant's Chair made by used to stand on Dartmoor - but generated rather too many visitors for the infrastructure of the locality near where it stood - and it didn't have permanent planning permission - so it went into storage and is now out again and on top of the hill at Wisley.

Mark Swan
In terms of the Surrey Sculpture Trail I met and talked with Mark Swan who has two pieces in the trail. The one that caught by eye was the diver diving into the water feature on the Cottage Garden.

| Diva by Mark Swan - is made in bronze resin so it looks like Bronze but is much lighter, easier to move and not as expensive |
 |
| Orchidea by Mark Swan next to the Vegetable Garden steel, laminated glass fibre £8,500 |
Adam Warwick Hall
Adam Warwick Hall loves aerodynamics and has a website called aerorganic.co.uk. My other half perked up when he saw this....
 |
| Biodonata by Adam Warwick Hall FR B/B grade plywood and steel £2,800 |
On graduating he immediately started work as a sculptor and model maker for the Film and TV industry at Shepperton and Pinewood Studios. He then progressed to specialist work with Exhibition and Aerospace companies creating one-off pieces which other trades were not able to make due to their complex curves and diverse materials.
