About this audio guide
This guide to Aspire Park in Doha follows Sarah Lucas, the British artist known for shock, and the one work of public art she has ever made: a giant bronze cart horse named Perceval, cast to loom over the trail through Qatar's biggest park. It traces the sculpture's path from a foundry in Stroud, England to Central Park in New York, and finally to Doha in 2012. Look closely at the oversized marrows piled in its cart as you pass on the trail.
