Cassandra II - by Emily Young - Bankside - Southwark - 17.1.2018

Southwark's public artworks


Folder: Public artworks - art in public open spaces
I lived and worked in Southwark for about 40 years. I discovered that no central record of the public artworks was kept by the Council, so I tried to photograph as many as possible. I haven't added much in the way of descriptions, but by recording the artist and location, where known, I hope you can find more information by searching on line. Please bear in mind that some of these were temporary i…  (read more)

This was one of my highest scoring photos on Flickr. Nothing has changed but a url - now only one person has found it. I never worked out what the interest was, but I couldn't find other works by Michael Kellaway on the net. So maybe MK kept coming back to cherish his one bit of fame! 16.4.2018 - This piece still remains a mystery. Someone else, on another site, has found another of his works in a totally different medium - collage. It has been established that 144 Southwark Street was, at the time this was installed on its rear wall, an office for British Railways international goods services. That hasn't helped to explain what, if anything, inspired the work, or why it is tucked away on the back of the office block. Michael Kellaway went on to be a lecturer in the arts.

Argon by Peter Snow 1970

27 Jun 2008 359
Art on the Cart was an initiative of the Southwark Council Arts Team to make art reach into every corner of the borough. Eight refuse trucks, dustcarts, in UK parlance, had vinyl cladding whose designs were based on artworks with a connection to the Borough of Southwark. The Southwark Council website used to say the following about the artwork: "Peter Snow attended Goldsmiths College and Slade School of Fine Art before teaching at Slade. He has also been a journalist for South London Press. A painter and stage designer, he has also made prints in various media, as well as a series of drawings and abstract works. Snow’s most productive period was in the 1970s and 1980s and over the years he has exhibited widely in London. Until recently he lived in Kennington. The image on the cart is a painting called Argon, which is oil on panel and was completed around 1970. "
