Mon–Fri 9–5, BHols closed, admn free artscentre@brunel.ac.uk www.brunel.ac.uk/beldamgallery t 01895 266074 Public Sculpture of Historic Westminster, Vol 1 by Philip Ward-Jackson. 500pp, b/w ills, Liverpool UP pbk, £30 The National Recording Project, initiated in 1993 by the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association, is oneof thetruly heroic art-historical schemes of our time, on a par with Pevsner’s pioneering ‘Buildings of England’ in its scopeand thoroughness, perhaps rather more so. This, the fourteenth volume in the series, takes on perhaps the grandaddy of them all, the public sculpture of thecountry’s civil, military, political, religious and constitutional heartland “an open-air national Valhalla” as they term it – Westminster. Indeed there is so much to cover that this is subtitled, somewhat ominously, Volume1. How many morethereareto comethey shrewdly don’t say – this one covering only work out of doors – no churches, cathedrals, BOOK reviews museums, public buildings or architectural sculpture. It’s a rich haul even so – Chantrey, Rodin, Le Sueur, Gilbert, Jagger among thestars, whileLiam O’Connor’s Commonweath Gates on Constitution Hill receive a more circumspect account. Meanwhile his other, gigantic, Bomber Command Memorial on Green Park was, sadly, still on the drawing board at thetimeof publication. But what exemplary stuff this is! NU
