The third work in the Meridian Energy Wellington Wind Sculpture series has been announced today by the Wellington Sculpture Trust. Trust chairman Neil Plimmer says the new piece is Tower of Light, which he describes as an elegant, nine-metre high, tube-shaped work which will intrigue viewers by the directness of its response to Wellington's wind.
Friday 29 November was one of the great days in Wellington’s art history with the opening by the Mayor Kerry Prendergast of Jeff Thomson’s Shells and Robert Jahnke’s Spinning Top.
Mayor Kerry Prendergast and Wellington Sculpture Trust chairman Neil Plimmer today announced that Woodward Street is to become the new home of Spinning Top a large sculpture by artist Robert Jahnke.
Installation work begins this week on a new addition to Wellington that uses the power of Wellington's wind to create another dynamic work of art. Zephyr, the second in the series of sculptures in Meridian Energy's Great Wellington Wind Sculpture Project, is a 26 metre high tapered mast that will move at different speeds with the strength of the wind.
