Audio Description: Sculpture

Sir Antony Gormley OBE RA, Bed 1980–1. Tate. © Antony Gormley.

Join us for an audio description tour that will pick out some of the highlights in the Tate sculpture collection.  This tour will explore a wide range of techniques employed by sculptors from traditional materials and methods such as carving in stone or marble and casting in metal – to the construction and fabrication of contemporary sculpture.

Led by Anna-Marie Gray and Luke Smith the talk will take place seated in the gallery with trained picture describers giving a detailed and fascinating description of the photographs and display.  This tour will include some touch elements. Sighted companions and guide dogs are welcome. 

If you have any other access needs that you would like to let us know about please contact: Anna Murray, Assistant Curator: Access anna.murray@tate.org.uk or call +44 (0)20 7887 8888
