exhibition · 2026-04-19

The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is showcasing 'The Pull of Gravity,' a significant exhibition featuring the works of William Kentridge, which will be open until 19 April 2026. This display includes over 40 artworks crafted from bronze, steel, paper, and plaster, representing the most extensive examination of his sculptural endeavors outside of South Africa. Born in Johannesburg in 1955, Kentridge has shaped the discourse surrounding art, politics, and memory for the past 40 years. Noteworthy pieces include the newly commissioned 'Paper Procession' and large-scale bronzes. The exhibition also highlights film and movement through projections such as 'More Sweetly Play the Dance' (2015) and 'Oh To Believe in Another World' (2022). Supported by Goodman Gallery, Galleria Lia Rumma, and Hauser Wirth, it underscores the necessity of experiencing the works firsthand.
