Public Sculpture

Not everything that rusts in the public gaze is detritus. Think of that icon of Gateshead (that has been often adopted or purloined by neighbours Newcastle) the Angel of the North. Here a model of the solar system sits at the edge of the harbour. Not only is Mars a rusty red colour, but so is the sun. Look closely at the model – one of the few places left, where Pluto is still a planet
