Cass Sculpture Foundation

The Cass Sculpture Foundation is a charitable commissioning body based in Goodwood, Sussex, England. The Foundation's 26 acre grounds are home to an ever-changing display of 80 monumental sculptures, all of which are available for sale with the proceeds going directly to artists. The Foundation is open to the public 7 days a week from 10. 30 am to 4. 30 pm, from March until November. The Foundation is a self-sufficient body reliant on sales of commissioned sculpture and visitor entrance fees. Founding and fundingInspired by their own extensive collection of works from artists such as Elizabeth Frink and Henry Moore, Wilfred and Jeannette Cass embarked on their own journey to establish a revolutionary new model for a sculpture foundation. After initial years of research and visits to other sculpture parks such as the Kröller-Müller in the Netherlands, Louisiana in Denmark and Hakone in Japan the Cass Sculpture Foundation was fully established in 1992. To date the Foundation has commissioned over 400 important works from both emerging and established artists. Previous commissions include works by Anthony Caro, Tony Cragg, Andy Goldsworthy, Marc Quinn, Kiki Smith, and Rachel Whiteread. The ambition is that the new commissions will act as a catalyst for sculptors, sending them in new directions and creating opportunities elsewhere.
