– Bothy GalleryAbout Nick Crowe
In 2001, YSP commissioned a new exhibition, presenting a rare opportunity to see the work of talented contemporary artist Nick Crowe.
In the Bothy Gallery, 12 flip charts displayed Crowe’s drawings. Each chart combined a graph representing one month’s financial trading on the Nasdaq financial index, with a landscape. The Nasdaq is concerned with technology stocks and trades taking place via a computer and telecommunications network.
This pairing of landscape with the world of commerce creates a timely and thought-provoking reflection on our contemporary world.

Niki de Saint Phalle: Buddha
Niki de Saint Phalle began creating figurative works in the mid-1960s. In response to the pressures of domestic life as daughter, mother and wife, she created her iconic Nana figures. The colourful and voluptuous sculptural works are celebrations of the female form. These goddess-like figures continued as a form of expression throughout the artist’s life, and paralleled modern feminist efforts to reconsider and revalue the female body. - Art Outdoors
Henry Moore: Large Totem Head
This sculpture is enlarged from a much smaller work made five years previously called Head: Boat Form and the resemblance to a hollowed-out boat remains clear. However, unlike that sculpture, which sat horizontally, Large Totem Head is raised to a standing form, assuming the totem-like presence of its title. - Art Outdoors
