Angel Of The North

Tyne and Wear

The Angel of the North is as much a part of Gateshead’s identity as the Statue of Liberty is to New York. Since its debut in February 1998, it is also one of the most well-known compositions in the United Kingdom. The Angel, which rises 20 metres above the ground near the A1 in Gateshead, dominates the skyline, towering over those who come to see it and serving as a symbol of home for many Geordies. It has a 54-meter wingspan and a red-brown colour from the weathering steel that can resist winds of more than 100 miles per hour.

YSP hosts year-round temporary exhibitions featuring some of the world’s most renowned artists in six inside galleries and in the open air. For the past 40 years, YSP has been dedicated to igniting, nurturing, and sustaining interest in, and discourse about, contemporary art and sculpture, particularly among people who are not accustomed to or familiar with it. It allows free access to art, situations, and ideas, and it continues to rethink and broaden the way we think about art’s position and importance in society.
