Hirst, Lucas and Gormley in a cathedral of art (not the Tate)

Works by Damien Hirst, Antony Gormley and Elisabeth Frink turn up in an unlikely location this summer—Chester Cathedral. The ARK show (7 July-15 October) promises to be a sculpture smorgasbord, comprising 90 works by over 50 artists. Gallery Pangolin, the Gloucestershire-based company which operates its own casting foundry, is behind the ambitious exhibition, which also includes pieces by Sarah Lucas and Barbara Hepworth (and less well known names such as Sue Freeborough). The Dean of Chester Cathedral, The Very Revd. Professor Gordon McPhate, says enthusiastically: “It is an honour to host such an important collection of sculpture with individual pieces chosen to reveal and complement the narrative of our building. Almost three years in the planning, ARK will bring world-class works of art to Chester entirely free of charge.”
