Viewing Albert Paley at Messums West

Those headed to Wiltshire this festive season should make a bee-line for Messums to see American modernist sculptor Albert Paley’s rhapsodies in metal. “Using metal is like drawing in space,” the artist once said, and his sinuous sketches in the air give the gallery’s vast tithe barn a magnetic charge. From the Victoria and Albert Gate, commissioned by the V&A in 1982, to the Fence of the Hunter Museum, Paley has pushed his medium in ever more inventive directions. On show are works from the past 35 years, alongside a collection of his drawings. Catch the exhibition before it closes on 14 January.
