This silver jubilee exhibition of British sculptors – each represented by one significant work – concentrated on artists who had previously exhibited at the Serpentine during the gallery’s 25 year history.
For the first time in many years, permission was given for the gallery to place sculpture on the lawn outside the entrance to the building. Sited here, works by Anthony Caro, Tony Cragg, Barry Flanagan, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull greeted the public as they entered the exhibition. In the portico, a new work by Ron Haselden, entitled Tap Dancing, encircled visitors with light and sound.
