Sculpture in the City is back for its 11th edition, and as a member of the exhibition Partner Board we’re delighted to see the City of London once again transformed into a public gallery.
This free, outdoor art exhibition provides an opportunity to experience and engage with world-class contemporary art and showcases works by established and emerging artists, with each piece selected for its ability to create a relationship and dialogue with the complex urban environment of London’s Square Mile.
On show this year are new works from eleven contemporary artists as well as six sculptures that remain in situ from last year’s edition alongside two permanent acquisitions. The works are comprised of different forms, mediums and sizes, from Jesse Pollock’s life-sized traditional English grain store steel sculpture, The Granary, 2021 (pictured), to Oliver Bragg’s series of bench plaques dotted around the City forming part of In Loving Memory, 2020.
These and many more works around the City are available to explore now free of charge, at any time of day, on any day of the week.
