About

For decades the Beehive has served as Wellington's primary visual icon, its circular design neatly symbolising the functions and identity of New Zealand's capital.

But as Wellington has grown and diversified, public sculpture has assumed at least some of this responsibility. Neil Dawson's Ferns, an aluminium globe whimsically suspended over the Civic Square in 1998, has a talismanic presence, and Cuba Mall's Bucket Fountain has splashed its way into the city's heart. Wellington: A City for Sculpture is both a celebration of the dynamic presence of sculpture in the city's streets and parks, and an informative and sometimes provocative examination of how it has all got there and what it all means.

Illustrated throughout with colour images.
