"The River" ~ Birmingham
Birmingham has shown a strong commitment to public sculpture in recent years, and though somewhat off-topic for this website, with its mostly Victorian and Edwardian sculpture concerns, an exception can be made for the modern figure sculpture in Victoria Square, and not far off at the end of Corporation Street. The Victoria Square remodelling at the beginning of the 1990s was surely one of the most convincing plans for a city square in recent years. The sculptural centerpiece of the Square is the group of works by Dhruva Mistry. The largest work is called The River, a reclining nude in the central fountain to the Square.
