Cabbie’s Curios: Gormley’s Reflection
If you ever find yourself passing 350 Euston Road, keep an eye out for this eerie pair.
The cast-iron figures form an art installation called Reflection which was created by London born sculptor, Anthony Gormley in 2001. Although the figure on the left appears to be reflected, it is in fact a separate effigy located inside the building.
Judging by the position of the scuff marks on the outdoor figure, it would appear that passers-by can’t resist giving him a cheeky pat on the bottom…
The artwork had a twin- Reflection II– which can be seen at the deCordova Sculpture Park & Museum in Massachusetts, USA.
