Frieze Art Fair 2009: Sculpture Park

This year’s Sculpture Park presented in the wonderful setting of the English Gardens of Regent’s Park demonstrates a distinctly international feel, presenting work by a strong and broad spectrum of artists.
I love Regent's Park at this time of the year, with autumnal shades starting to shine and all the squirels trying to gather the very last nuts before the Winter like crazy!
Here are few of the sculptures taken during my lunch break :)

Louise Bourgeois, The Couple - 2003

Daughter of a devoted mother and an unfaithful father who openly took his children’s tutor for a mistress, Bourgeois’s works have always combined the innocence of childhood with the wisdom of age, using overt metaphor to challenge gender roles, sexuality, and what it means to be a woman. Couples are alternately reviled and revered as seen in “The Couple” swirling luminously above the ground, the largest in a series of hanging aluminium sculptures.

Neha Choksi, A Child’s Grove - 2009

Graham Hudson, Edward VIII - 2009

Edward VIII was the only monarch since Elizabeth I not to have a statue or monument of commemoration in England until Graham Hudson’s last sculpture. Wish I found a bit more explanation about this one...

Paul McCarthy, Henry Moore Bound to Fail (Bronze) - 2004

American artist Paul McCarthy’s work is an homage to the oeuvre of Henry Moore and will remain on display for six months.
