Ursula von Rydingsvard Bloggers Event at Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Meet acclaimed American artist Ursula von Rydingsvard and be among the first to see her new exhibition in an exclusive bloggers event at Yorkshire Sculpture Park on Saturday 5 April. Tweet and blog about your experience with #ursulaysp

The exhibition, which is the artist’s most extensive to date, illustrates the full scope of von Rydingsvard’s diverse practice, with more than 40 works of drawing and sculpture made over the last two decades, presented in YSP’s purpose-built Underground Gallery and the open air.

One of America’s most inventive and individual artists, with work in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, among others, von Rydingsvard has evolved a distinctive, highly personal sculptural language that has become synonymous with cedar, the wood that lies at the heart of her practice. The exhibition features wall-mounted works, monolithic structures and other complex forms, most of which are meticulously assembled from 4”x4” cedar beams.
