We show that planar a plasmonic metamaterial with spatially variablemeta-atom parameters can focus transmitted light into sub-wavelength hot-spotslocated beyond the near-field of the metamaterial. By nano-structuring a goldfilm we created an array of meta-lenses generating foci of 160 nm(0.2{\lambda}) in diameter when illuminated by a wavelength of 800 nm. Weattribute the occurrence of sub-wavelength hotspots beyond the near field tothe phenomenon of superoscillation.
