To learn this...
"One sculpture that I used to like was the Boy with the Horse at the bottom of Bold Street opposite the Lyceum. It was said to have cost £150,000 and I used to love the way the public interacted with it. Though one day I saw a mother drag her child away in horror who was polishing a part of it that it should have been. It has now been turned into a....wheelie bin. Who robbed it? why was it moved? why didn't anyone at the Daily Ghost, er David Charters even notice?
So Liverpool European Capital of Bad Sculpture where we dump our good art to replace it with, Tom Murphy Turkey's....clever, the people who run our city, so cultured for sure. "
Does anybody have a picture of this boy & horse?
I haven't... and I can assure you it's not worth looking for: it was a total abomination and deserved to be spirited away, IMO! Someone's having a laugh... and if you really want to do some research I think you may find that the so-called Liverpool Preservation Trust is a bit of a joke in itself. Almost anything by Tom Murphy is superb by comparison ( though I agree with the comments on Harold, NOT one of his better pieces.)
