List of public art in Westminster
This is alist of public art inWestminster,a district in theCity of Westminster,London.
The area's main sculptural showcase isParliament Square,conceived in the 1860s to improve the setting of the rebuiltPalace of Westminster,to ease traffic flow and as a site for commemorating politicians of note.[1]Statues of the engineersRobert StephensonandIsambard Kingdom BrunelbyCarlo Marochettiwere initially considered for the square, but were rejected as not fitting in with the political theme. (They were ultimately erected outsideEuston stationand on theVictoria Embankment.)[2]The square took on its present configuration in a refurbishment of 1949–1950 by the architectGeorge Grey Wornum,though four statues of twentieth-century figures have since been added.[3]
Another two political memorials (one of which, theBuxton Memorial Fountain,was moved by Wornum from Parliament Square) andThe Burghers of Calais,a work on a historical theme byAuguste Rodin,are to be found inVictoria Tower Gardens.As the memorials therein all touch on the theme of opposition to injustice, the gardens have been described byDavid Adjaye,the designer of a projectednational Holocaust memorialfor that location, as a "park of Britain's conscience".[4]
