WELLINGTON ARTY-FACTS (3)

My final (for now) posting on some of Wellington's public artworks - as photographed during one of my earlier visits to this unique city.

Firstly...

An anonymous street mural...

Paul Dibble's 'Fruits of the Garden' overlooking the Harbour...

Part of the 'City to Sea' bridge by Paratene Matchitt, Rewi Thompson and John Grey...

'Shells' by Jeff Thomson, which stands on the corner off Hunter Street and Lambton Quay...

And lastly, Phil Price's kinetic sculpture, 'Protoplasm', which is constantly oscillating – like a fleet of miniature UFOs – above the corner of Hunter Street and Lambton Quay...

Here's another of Wellington's public art works: it's by May Louise Brown and is called 'Seven Steps to Heaven'...

WELLINGTON ARTY-FACTS (1)

Unable to use iPad to upload any of the many photos I've (not) taken, I thought I'd post a few very old photos, from my first-ever visit to New Zealand in 2001, showing examples of Wellington's wonderful public artworks, beginning with Neil Dawson's impressive, yet amazingly delicate, 'Ferns': a 3.4 metre diameter sphere suspended 14 metres above Civic Square in central Wellington.

Exquisite AND quirky! Brilliant!

Sorry the images aren't centrally aligned (in line with my usually fastidious house style) but – guess what? – iPad doesn't let you make those kind of adjustments...

Later rectified!
