Artists Fall in Love with Gilcar Farm

26th August 2013

International artists Lucy + Jorge Orta recently stayed at Gilcar Farm holiday cottages, whilst overseeing the installation of their latest exhibition of new and critically acclaimed work at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park - and they loved it!

Lucy, who originally hails from the UK and husband Jorge from Argentina, founded Studio Orta Paris in 1991 and since that time have had major solo exhibitions around the world including at The Barbican London, Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa Venice, Galleria Continua Beijing and Jaus Gallery, Los Angeles.

The successful couple stayed at Gilcar Farm, and whilst there came across a fallen tree which they saw artistic potential in. They asked owners Andrew and Angela Brook if it would be possible to have a section of the tree trunk, which they have since shipped back to France and will be casting in bronze to add to their collection of sculptures.

We can’t wait to see a little piece of Gilcar Farm featured in a forthcoming Lucy + Jorge Orta exhibition!

The exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park is on display until 3 November 2013. For more information click here.
