A touring sculpture by artist and curator Andrea Gregson and featuring a
6meter long sculpture in the garden in the ruins. The sculpture can be seen as

The sculpture will reference fire as both a destructive and reconstructive force
of nature. Sited inside the ruined great hall, which burned down in a fire in
1947, it will respond to histories of garden ruins, perspectives and optical
illusions with the interior structure reminiscent of a model theatre.
The renowned set designer Oliver Messel formerly lived in the house. Last
Night For Ever was originally exhibited at The Garden Museum, London in
2009, responding to lost green space and the spectacular Vauxhall Pleasure
Gardens, a once thriving public gardens between 1661-1859, sited by the
Thames. The sculpture made connections between garden histories past and
present, merging the visual trickery of the grotto first created in Renaissance
Italy, with found objects and visual motifs from this location over time.
The sculpture, whose title was taken from the name of the closing event at
Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens on 25th June 1859, will be exhibited again at three
National Trust historic buildings and landscape gardens located in the
Southeast of England, including Leith Hill Place, Nymans and Winkworth
Arboretum from 5 April 2025 until 26 March 2026. (Tours subject to
availability).
