Beyond Limits sculpture exhibition in the garden - Chatsworth House, Derbyshire

For the first time, Beyond Limits featured the work of a single artist, the British sculptor Barry Flanagan, RA OBE (1941-2009).
The exhibition presented a selection of Flanagan's critically-acclaimed late works. Considered one of the most versatile, imaginative and radical sculptors of his generation, his characteristic bronze hares, represented in a variety of guises, are installed throughout the gardens at Chatsworth House.
