Yorkshire Sculpture Park is to host an important exhibition of sculpture by Joan Miro (1893-1983).
Miro, who is perhaps best known for his surrealist, two-dimensional paintings, experimented with sculpture from the 1930's onwards, his most prolific period being between 1960-1983 where he produced some 800 sculpture and ceramics.
Miro considered his sculpture work to be of equal importance to his painting, and this will be the first time an exhibition of his sculpture on this scale has been held in the UK.
