Summary:

Recently, a flurry of new projects, such as the Tate Modern and the
London Eye, has brought the world’s attention to the sometimes
overlooked southern half of London. Less densely developed than its
northern counterpart, South London boasts large areas of public open
space and numerous parks, including Battersea Park, making it an
ideal location for public art. As more and more visitors to the city
make a point of crossing the Thames, this book is the perfect guide
to one of the region’s major attractions—its incredible wealth of
public sculpture. Richly illustrated throughout, Public Sculpture of
South London includes work by some of the most influential British
and continental sculptors of the past hundred years, including Henry
Moore and Barbara Hepworth. In addition to the numerous images, Terry
Cavanagh’s detailed commentary on each sculpture makes this a truly
comprehensive guide. The tenth volume in the highly acclaimed and
prize-winning Public Sculpture of Britain series, Public Sculpture of
South London is an incomparable resource for travelers, historians,
and art lovers alike.
