This is the seventeenth volume in the series the Public Sculpture
of Britain, part of the PMSA National Recording Project, which will
eventually cover the whole of the country. The introduction
considers the ways in which the rural and urban landscapes of
Sussex, from market town, rural village and country estate, to
city, major seaside resort and new town development, are reflected
in the county's public sculptures. The historical period covered
ranges from the allegedly pre-historic (the Long Man of Wilmington)
to the present day (the most recent entry is Maggi Hambling's The
Resurrection Spirit, 2013). There is a high proportion of
nineteenth- century sculptures, including significant works by John
Flaxman, Michael Rysbrack, Frances Chantrey and John Edward Carew;
the 'statuemania' that characterised the last part of this century
is well illustrated by Thomas Brock's imposing statue celebrating
Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee on Hove seafront. The achievements
of major twentieth and twenty-first century sculptors are
represented by Elisabeth Frink and William Pye among others. Many
works from this period are the result of public art initiatives by
local councils, often as part of more wide-ranging regeneration
schemes for Sussex towns. The patronage of health authorities,
influenced by new thinking about the calming and healing qualities
of art in public places has also benefitted both local sculptors
and those based elsewhere in the country. Each individual work is
catalogued, with precise details of location, condition and
history, including commissioning, opening ceremonies and re-siting.
Most are individually illustrated in black and white. Biographies
of local and less well-known sculptors, together with a selected
bibliography are included at the end of the volume.
