Derbyshire opening Friday 16 September.

Showing
in public for the first time, the painted bronze, winged horse was cast earlier
this year and stands at more than 10ft high. ‘Legend’ joins 25 other sculptures
from 20 British and international artists and includes completely new pieces as
well as others not previously seen in the UK.
Chatsworth’s
famous gardens and the surrounding Peak District landscape provide a dramatic
backdrop for these large-scale works with the biggest, Manolo Valdes ‘Nike’, measuring
just under 50ft in width.
The
British presence includes Marc Quinn, Yorkshire artist Richard Hudson, Barry Flanagan
and Lynn Chadwick. European and American artists include Rene Magritte, Jaume
Plensa, and Jedd Novatt while a strong Asian influence includes works from
Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama, Ji Yong-Ho and Ju Ming.
Free

Beyond Limits closes on Sunday 30 October. All exhibits will be on display from 11am-6pm every
