I went yesterday to the new Tony Cragg exhibition at Castle Howard: many of his sculptures beautifully placed in the landscape, enhancing the vistas in unexpected ways; particularly a beautiful work on the empty basin in the middle of Ray Wood:-
There is an amazing assembly of glass vessels in the Temple of the Four Winds:-
And in the Great Hall, the work echoes and encourages one to look carefully at Giovanni Bagutti’s plasterwork overmantel:-

I would love to see this, Charles. Very much enjoying your book on Castle Howard, by the way, and I’m particularly interested in what you write about the scheme for the Great Hall. Will try to catch this exhibition, I would like to see inside the Temple of the Four Winds again.
Yes, I read it myself! Some bits of the book I remember well and some I’ve forgotten. The Temple of the Four Winds piece is particularly anazing. Charles
