Sunset and silhouette - Australia 2014

The Broken Hill Sculpture Symposium work commenced on 1st of April 1993 and ended in the first week of May. From then, a lonely hill named Sundown, the haunt of wedge-tailed eagles, was transformed into an iconic artwork for this mysterious Outback town. The 53 tonnes of stones, cut from sandstone boulders from the Wilcannia region, were transported up to the Sundown, with the help of the whole community, from local contractors to the city council.

 

The Sculptures comprise of 12 sandstone artworks which highlight the skyline, all with a story to tell. Located on a majestic hilltop within the centre of the reserve, the sculptures were completed in 1993 by artists from around the world.
