Exhibition

An exhibition of books relating to the University’s sculpture collection.

About the exhibition

Throughout sculpture week a selection of books relating to our sculpture collection will be on display in Pilkington Library. Together with colleagues from the Library, we’ve chosen books that shed light on sculptors’ philosophies, contain historic photographs of works on our campus, and provide biographical details on some of the sculptors featured across campus. Pop along to learn about Atta Kwami’s combination of vernacular West African styles with European modernism, Lynn Chadwick’s stellar career, or the sculptures of the ‘Loughborough Group’.

Members of the public can access the library to view this exhibition. However, in order to comply with library regulations, please bring photo ID with you if possible. Under 18s should be accompanied by an adult but will not require their own photo ID.

The exhibition will be open 24/7 from 12pm on Monday 29 April until 5pm on Friday 3 May.

This event is part of Sculpture Week 2024 - a celebration of our campus sculpture collection featuring online talks and campus events.
