Precision as a State of Mind: Sculptures by Mark Firth

Fri 3 September 2021 - Sat 15 January 2022

Graves Gallery

Celebrating the work of the acclaimed sculptor Mark Firth, Precision as a State of Mind brought together 83 new and recent works, including Ten Cubes for Sheffield, a new series made exclusively for this exhibition.

 

The works on display, meticulously crafted in aluminium, each showcased Firth's continuing preoccupation with geometry and his exploration of the meeting point between art and engineering.

Firth's sculpture Key (1993) was also displayed at Kelham Island Museum during the run of the exhibition.

This exhibition has now closed
