[1/1] B6820 Birds Sculptures

Statement of Significance

Michael Meszaros has produced a great number of medallions and many commissioned three dimensional works, all of a figurative style, but this is the only depiction of birds and the only work constructed of copper sheet on a brass armature. The three birds add a point of visual interest in the paved area in front of the building as well as introducing a work that acts as an intermediary between the size of visitors and the two buildings of eight and twenty eight stories. The work differs from most commissioned sculptures of the period that were mainly monolithic and abstract. Naturalistic in style and viewable from all aspects, it gives an impression of lightness and movement. It has proved to be a very popular work.
