Barry Flanagan’s sculpture Large Nijinski on Anvil Point, 2001, has returned to Yorkshire Sculpture Park as part of the site's Art Outdoors programme. Flanagan, known for his dynamic depictions of animals, often used bronze to create works that fuse the everyday with the imaginary. His hares, a central theme since the 1970s, reflect human emotions and traits through their energy and character. Inspired by Rodin’s figurine of ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, Large Nijinski on Anvil Point combines the animate with the inanimate, contrasting the solid anvil with the lightness and vitality of the hare. The sculpture, last displayed at YSP in 2009, is now on view in Lower Park near Bretton Hall.

Barry Flanagan’s sand sculpture ringn ‘66, 1966, is now on display in A View from Tokyo: Between Man and Matter at Tate Modern. This group exhibition is part of the ‘Materials and Objects’ display and explores how sculptors working in Japan, Europe, and the United States in the 1970s inspired and influenced each other, using a diverse range of materials. Formed by pouring a hundredweight of sand onto the floor from a more or less fixed point above, the work testifies to Flanagan’s deep interest in sculptural processes and the ways in which materials determine a sculpture’s final appearance.
