Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The furore surrounding the covert removal (to storage in Norfolk!) of some sections of Paolozzi's 1984 ceramic murals at Tottenham Court Road underground station has been a wake-up call for those concerned about displaced or threatened public art. Over the years I often wondered what had happened to Meridian, the large freestanding Hepworth piece that stood in the forecourt of State House, Holborn before it was demolished in 1990. Happily, it survived to stand in the sculpture garden at PepsiCo's headquarters in Purchase, Xew York State. But a freestanding sculpture, by an illustrious named artist, is unlikely to vanish altogether - unless it falls into the hands of scrap dealers in the night.
