Holey Family
Part of Barbara Hepworth's The Family of Man sculpture.
The work dates to 1970 and was made from bronze by the Wakefield native before going on display at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near by.
It is made up of a series of nine bronze figures, with those representing the younger members of the family more simple, with the sculptures becoming more complicated as they represent older people.
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is just of the M1 at West Bretton, near Wakefield and occupies a 500-acre country estate interspersed with numerous outdoor sculptures.
There are numerous trails and paths through various zones, with sculptures by such artists as Henry Moore and Antony Gormley among those whose works are exhibited.
The sculptures – which are regularly moved from place to place within the park – blend into the gardens, hillsides and around a small lake, providing an outdoor environment in which to view the works both from afar and up close – and sometimes even from within.
