To Roche Court a 19th century house with a sculpture park and garden. Sculptures include Hepworth, Gorley, Caro and Opie(two rather wacky brightly coloured cars of coloured aluminium). Pooled with rain, covered in cobwebs with muddy cat-paw prints from the pair of cats that use them as a giant playground. A backdrop of burnt orange and chocolate tinted scarlet trees, with gently falling leaves. Sinister bronze birds lurk in the walled garden where there are still flowers in the almost derelict cold-frames.
A lovely spare glass gallery designed by Munkenbeck+Marshall with an exhibition of Christopher Le Brun's rather chalky and enigmatic canvases - like early Italian fresco. The Artists' House, which was closed, is designed by Stephen Marshall and modelled on Kettle's Yard to provide a domestic space for contemporary work.
Below is Christopher Le Brun's Union Horse with Two Discs. Not my picture, there was a very fierce custodian indeed.
