Michael Lyons at Thirsk Hall Sculpture Garden
On 15 May 2021 Willoughby Gerrish Ltd launched Thirsk Hall Sculpture Garden with a major exhibition of Michael Lyons’ sculptures alongside work by Austin Wright, Geoffrey Clarke, Gerald Laing, Richard Hudson & Emily Young.
Lyons, who passed away in April 2019, was a Yorkshire based sculptor who forged a critically acclaimed career from his non-metropolitan base. His work consistently maintains a connection with the land and the exhibition at Thirsk Hall showcases some of his most important work.
