MICHAEL CRAIG-MARTIN at CHATSWORTH

In Spring, 2014 Chatsworth House hosted an exhibition of two-dimensional metalwork sculptures by Michael Craig-Martin.

Michael Craig-Martin, RA (born 1941) is a contemporary conceptual artist and painter.   The works on view at Chatsworth are sculptures, but not as we ordinarily know them; these are sculptures of drawings, rather than sculptures of objects.   Made of high-tensile steel barely an inch thick, they are not free-standing, but supported by foundations dug into the earth.
