Topic Subject : Gormley's iron men |
|
Members may be interested in the case of " Gormley's iron men".
"The rusty men, all moulded from the artist's own body, were installed in July 2005 and immediately won the same kind of affection as had been gained by Gormley's Angel of the North in Gateshead."(UK) Now though their continued existence there has been refused planning permission.
For that decision see http://arts.guardian.co.uk/print/0,,329605518-110427,00.html
For a photo of one of the men see http://arts.guardian.co.uk/features/story/0,,1924884,00.html
There are some interesting side comments on the public's interactions / use of /etc. the hundred sculptures, in the two articles.
