Igor Mitoraj: Eros Bendato Screpolatio

Claude Lalanne: Olympe

View across the gardens

Eric Goulder: The Woman

Richard Hudson: Marilyn Monroe. One of my personal favourites - not the best angle.

Ugo Rondinone: Air gets into everything even nothing - Made of aluminum.

Most of the maples were past their best, but this was was an amazing red.

Jaume Plensa: Heart of Trees

Niki de Saint Phalle: Buddha

Fernando Botero: Dancers - Another favourite.

Yayoi Kusama: Narcissus Garden

Anthony Gormley: Angel of the North. Lifesize version.

Bernar Venet: 222.5° Arc x 5

Henry Moore: Three Piece Reclining Figure: Draped.
Not its best side, but you get to see how well the pieces are situated in the grounds.

Manolo Valdes: Ariadna 1

It was Halloween and there were a number of carved pumpkins placed around the gardens.

Ju Ming: Taichi Series: Pushing Hand

Francois-Xavier Lalanne: Carpe (tres grande).
It was indeed très grande!

George Rickey: Two Lines Up Excentric Twelve Feet.
This was a moving sculpture and caught the light beautifully.

Sorel Etrog: Mother and Child
This reminded us all of a Jim Henson creation, with the big round eyes!
