The critically acclaimed Sculpture in the City is
an annual exhibition showcasing contemporary works by internationally renowned
artists in the confines of the City of London, on streets, in squares or on
buildings. The exhibition usually opens around end June, and most sculptures
are displayed until the following May.
2022/23 sees the eleventh incarnation of this
popular attraction, displaying 24 artworks by 19 artists ranging considerably
in scale – from large steel-, neon- or fabric-works to small bronze plaques,
thoughtfully placed between iconic architectural landmarks such as the Gherkin
(30 St. Mary Axe), the Walkie-Talkie (20 Fenchurch Street), the
Lloyd’s-Building (aka the Inside-Out Building, at 12 Leadenhall Street), the
Scalpel (Lime Street) and the Cheesegrater (the Leadenhall Building). Wander
the City's public spaces and stumble upon world-class public art, on an urban
canvas recognised across the globe.

10 walkers at the agreed time, with 2 laggards catching up later, so n=12 in total in w=warm weather.
We took 70 minutes for the course this time around and at Leadenhall Market, 1 peeled off, while 11 went to The Bunch of Grapes for a drink or two, and 4 of those then peeled off for a meal at the new-ish Tapas Bar in the Market. Only that they took in no more walk-ins. So, the Loch Fyne Restaurant it was again, same as last year. Thumbs up for their food, drinks and staff.
