By public command…[edit]

Is the new Diana statue public art? It's evidently in the grounds of a royal palace yet appears to be publically acessible in a way the Waterloo Vase isnt! Any ideas? No Swan So Fine (talk) 22:51, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[]

@No Swan So Fine: Tricky one, but I'm inclined to veer towards including it in the template and the list of public art for its location. If the Sunken Garden is indeed going to be open to the public (are there any sources for this?), then Diana's sculpture would be in a more public location than the Bank of England's war memorial and the BMA's, which are in the template. The Richmond list has sculptures in the grounds of Hampton Court – OK, a Historic Royal Palace not a current one, but the public parts of Kensington Palace are presumably as public as those of Hampton Court, i.e., open to paying visitors, unlike the inaccessible Waterloo Vase in the garden of Buckingham Palace.

@No Swan So Fine: Sod's law – a week after I wrote that: Buckingham Palace gardens open to the public for first time ever. Only until September, though; I don't know whether it'll become a permanent arrangement in the future. And there's the Waterloo Vase in the second picture! Ham II (talk) 07:10, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[]
I think 'open to the public after payment with tickets' is different from a public park or streetscape etc. St John's Lodge is an analogous property I think. No Swan So Fine (talk) 12:38, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[]

Greetings[edit]

I possess Benedict Read's Victorian Sculpture if Google Books ever lets you down! I always look forward to whatever you have in the pipeline. I created a list for London's most monumental man recently as well. No Swan So Fine (talk) 15:16, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]

@No Swan So Fine: That's good to know! I'm planning a blitz on the London public art lists later in the year – from November, which is when my thoughts usually turn to war memorials. Thanks to your Simon Milton article I see I can add some more on – and a much nicer pic of – his statue in Southwark. And I love it when a red dot turns green on WikiShootMe, so thanks for your recent sterling work in Covent Garden in particular! Ham II (talk) 15:31, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[]
