Evanston:  Another Place

 


       The above photograph and those below come from a regular reader of this journal, Martin Lynam.  They are part of a sculpture consisting of one hundred  figures facing the Irish Sea along two miles/3.2 kilometers of Crosby Beach, just north of Liverpool, England.         

        The work of Anthony Gormley, they are collectively and appropriately titled, ‘Another Place.’

         Each of the cast iron statues is 6’ 2½”/189 cm tall and weighs about 1400 pounds/650 kg.  Most cover and uncover with the tides.

        Probably those of you in the UK are familiar with this work, but I was not.  I think it wonderful.

Thank you, Martin, for bringing this masterpiece--it is not too strong a word--to my attention and permitting me to share your photographs.
