=Cork’s Castlemartyr Resort is to host a large, partly-outdoor exhibition of works by some of the biggest names in art.

‘Art and Soul’, described by curators Gormley’s as “Ireland’s biggest art and sculpture event”, will run at the East Cork venue, for the third time, across June, with 350 works by artists including Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Banksy, Julian Opie, and Salvador Dali.

One of the highlights will be an outdoor exhibition of 90 large sculptures and installations set throughout the 220-acre, 18th-century manor estate. In addition, 70 smaller and more intimate sculptures will be on display within the hotel.

Among the exhibiting Irish sculptors will be Patrick O’Reilly, Ian Pollock, Eamonn Ceannt, Giacinto Bosco, Bob Quinn, Paddy Campbell, Sandra Bell, and John Fitzgerald.

Foreign sculptors will include Michael Ayrton, Philip Jackson, Sophie Ryder, Matteo Lo Greco, and Lorenzo Quinn.
