The Great Garden of New Place, Shakespeare's final home, is the setting for an evolving 'sculpture trail' featuring works in bronze, inspired by Shakespeare's plays, by the American sculptor Greg Wyatt.
The first piece, 'The Tempest', was unveiled on Shakespeare's Birthday, 23 April, 1999. This work commissioned and presented to the Trust by the Newington-Cropsey Foundation, was followed by 'Hamlet' in 2000, 'King Lear' in 2001 and 'Julius Caesar' in 2002. Dependent on sponsorship, further works are planned to be added in due course. The works imaginatively blend characters and incidents from the plays, and each has an appropriate quotation.
Greg Wyatt is sculptor-in-residence at the Cathedral Church of St John the Divine in New York and Director of the Newington-Cropsey Foundation's Academy of Art in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, USA. |
