About ‘Lyndie Wright. The Curious Art of Puppetry’
This exhibition celebrates an extraordinary collection of puppets that spans 65 years of Lyndie Wright’s work—a lifelong dedication to the art of puppetry. Her artistic vision continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of British puppetry and this exhibition serves as a testament to her enduring impact on the craft. Each puppet tells a unique story, weaving together the magic, creativity and craftsmanship that has made Wright a luminary in the world of puppetry. Lyndie Wright is still making full-time and teaching, passing on her skills to the next generation of artists, and inspiring audiences young and old with her creations.

The exhibition will be on view at Make Hauser & Wirth Somerset from Sunday 18 August through Sunday 13 October 2024.

Please be advised that photographs will be taken at this event for use on the Hauser & Wirth website, social media and in other marketing materials.
