Meet some of Liverpool's best and least-known public works of art, including works by some pre-eminent 20th and 21st Century artists
A circular walk exploring some of Liverpool's best and least-known public works of art by some of Britain's pre-eminent 20th and 21st century artists.
Liverpool's abundance of public art provides a series of curious encounters for locals and visitors to the city alike. Many of the works commemorate historic events in the life of this cosmopolitan city, whilst others are more esoteric and conceptual pieces - they serve as invitations to contemplate and consider wider issues. Join Ed Willams, Art and Architectural Historian, as he introduces us to the work of major British figures in the field of sculpture including Jacob Epstein, Philip King, Dame Barbara Hepworth and Dame Elizabeth Frink together with less well-known artists whose artworks challenge pre-conceived ideas about fine art and the role of the arts in engaging the wider public.
