Barry Flanagan: Large Nijinski on Anvil Point

Large Nijinski on Anvil Point by Barry Flanagan has returned to YSP – the sculpture was last on display here in 2009.

Look out for the hare balanced on a giant anvil in Lower Park, near to Bretton Hall.

I prefer working with the essential stuff of sculpture rather than my own “ambitions” for it.
