MANCHESTER ART GALLERY

Sculptural Forms: A Century of Experiment

This exhibition (until September 2014) explores some of the imaginative ways in which the sculptural form has been re-invented from just before World War One to the present day.   It does so by combining sculpture with two-dimensional works of art and designed objects to create some unexpected but visually stunning juxtapositions.   Sculptural Forms is mainly drawn from the gallery's own collection and those of two of its partners: Whitworth Art Gallery and the Arts Council Collection.
