Specialist Alice Murray admires a smaller version — one sixth of the size — of an iconic sculpture that stands on the banks of the River Thames at Chelsea.
‘This is a chance to own a really sensitive and iconic piece of British sculpture,’ says Alice Murray, a specialist in the Modern British & Irish Art department in London. Boy with a Dolphin (1974) by David Wynne (1926-2014) is one of London’s most recognisable landmarks, standing 13 feet high and situated next to Albert Bridge on the banks of the River Thames in Chelsea.
The final, monumental sculpture was unveiled in October 1975, the concept following an earlier sculpture, Girl with a Dolphin, outside the Guoman Tower Hotel at St Katharine’s Dock near Tower Bridge. At one sixth of the size of the Albert Bridge piece, the sculpture that Murray appraises in this film was the first and smallest iteration of the celebrated piece that Wynne conceived in 1972.
