From the desert to Derbyshire — this month sees the opening of a fantastical new exhibition at Chatsworth House, bringing eight otherworldly sculptures from Burning Man, plus four new ones, to the grounds of the stately home. It’s a project between Sotheby’s and Fab Five Freddy, the hip-hop pioneer and long-time ‘Burner’ who counted Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat as collaborators. Of course, showcasing contemporary artists has long been part of Chatsworth’s DNA: the current Duke and Duchess of Devonshire have a private collection, encompassing pieces from Picasso to Freud, which has recently gone on display inside the house until 9 October. For those art aficionados who can’t absorb it all in a day there’s the option of renting one of the lovingly renovated cottages on the estate for a weekend to really soak it in.
