CIRENCESTER, UK – The 13th Biennial Quenington Sculpture Exhibition will be on display June 11 through July 2 at the Quenington Old Rectory in Gloucestershire.

“The aim of Fresh Air is to challenge, inspire, inform and delight,” said Lucy Abel-Smith, co-curator of the exhibition.

Over the last 25 years, Fresh Air has evolved from representing the more figurative and recognizable outdoor sculpture to reflect a much more contemporary and vibrant genre. Today it has built up an enviable reputation for quality, diversity and popularity as one of the UK’s leading outdoor contemporary sculpture shows, and this year’s brings together an exciting lineup of new work.

Set up by art collectors, Lucy and David Abel-Smith, the exhibition is laid out in the quintessential Cotswold setting of the five-acre garden surrounding the Old Rectory with the River Coln running through the garden. This year sees a return to the mix of media, styles and scale that has proved to be a winning combination with collectors and the general public: from stone to textiles, ceramic to glass, sound to video, mosaic to metals, rubber to resin. Monumental pieces sit alongside smaller works to accommodate every size of garden and outdoor space.

Seventy-five artists are showing their latest work, of which over 30 are new to the show. The works are carefully placed throughout the grounds to enable visitors to visualize them in their own gardens. Prices range from £50 to £50,000.

Fresh Air 2017 is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. including weekends.

Admission is £5 for adults; children 18 years and under will be admitted free of charge.
