This relationship is not just about placing art in a picturesque locale; it's about the profound ways in which artists draw inspiration from the natural world, engaging with its forms, textures and rhythms to create works that both complement and challenge their surroundings. Whether the setting is a grand historic garden or a modern sculpture park, sculpture and landscape are often in fruitful symbiosis. Taking our cue from Frieze Sculpture, which opens today and features a variety of works by 22 international artists, we take a stroll by four sculptural works that stand amid landscapes around the world. This is part of our 'Four things to see' series, which offers you a new way in to some of the world's greatest collections, sponsored by Bloomberg Connects: the free arts and culture app.     More from Apollo Current issue | Advertise | Podcasts   View this email in your browser   Follow us Apollo Magazine, 22 Old Queen Street, London, SW1H 9HP.
