DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture takes an ambitious and revolutionary look at the history of modern and contemporary sculpture. This new Tate collection display continues to examine and question the trajectory of artistic innovation in twentieth-century art and beyond.

Sculpture in the form of object, installation, assemblage and ready-made will sit alongside more surprising forms, such as painting, video, photography, language and performance.

Works featured range from the surrealist art of Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, through to Gillian Wearing’s striking photographic series Signs That Say What You Want Them To Say…

In response to the Carol Ann Duffy has written a new sonnet entitled POETRY that will be integrated within the exhibition. For the first time in her career the poet has devised an installation that invites visitors to interact with the display by re-arranging the words of the sonnet to create and original an unlimited poem.

Other artists featured throughout DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture include Sir Jacob Epstein, Henry Moore, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Arman, Yayoi Kusama and Cornelia Parker.
