This tour visits three relevant locations and includes additional visits to the National Media Museum and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Your host and guide will be Gerald Deslandes, a former curator who has organised numerous exhibitions of contemporary art including work by Anthony Gormley, Andy Goldsworthy and Damien Hirst.
