It is the imaginative siting of the sculptures that gives Goodwood its unique flavour and has helped to provide one of the most significant venues for contemporary sculpture in the country, if not the world. The backdrop of beautiful woodland and panoramic Sussex views allows the creation of something highly innovative. To walk into a clearing dappled with sunlight or mackerel cloud and see David Nash's Charred Sphere, Cube and Pyramid 1997 is a moving aesthetic experience.……This book celebrates the first ten years.

For the last ten years, sculpture at goodwood has worked with more than one hundred leoding british sculptors.

"Visions"both celebrates the innovative nature of sculpture in britain today and explores its ongoing creative potential as we begin a new century.
