Bondi, Sculpture by the Sea

Coast Guard by Greg James, Australia

Sculpture by the Sea  is an annual exhibition which is located on the coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama. This sculpture was located on the top of the scenic cliff at Bondi, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The walkway leading up to Marks Park at Tamarama can be seen in the background crowded with walkers, along with some of the other artworks I have featured in past posts.

  4. My title would have been a bit different.

    But it's a cool sculpture.

  5. Another captivating sculpture, nicely captured. I love all the public art. You could fill your blog only with public art in Sydney, couldn't you?

  7. I don't know what Steffe is thinking, but I'd like to see a full frontal on this sculpture... from this angle it looks to me like he's ready to take a leak into the sea... (no offense intended). Scrolled down to the earlier post in this series and saw a week's worth of interesting sculptures. I particularly like the camel looking out to sea with its title Adaptable Migrant (may have either something to do with who I am or what I do).

  8. Funny practical joke, but I wonder how people can take seriously this kind of works. Have they ever seen a real sculpture?

  10. Jack, we do have some great permanent and temporary public art in Sydney. I'm trying to show as much as I can.

    VP, I suppose some people don't think much of modern sculptures, some don't understand them and others adore them.

    Francisca, the sun was right behind this sculpture, so it was difficult to get a good full frontal shot of this one. You can see one if you take the Virtual Tour on the exhibition's website.

  13. I just noticed how many people are cliff top walking. Are they mostly there to see the art?

  14. Andrew, yes, most of them were there for the art. The coastal walk from Bondi to Coogee is always popular but the exhibition draws a massive crowd every year.

  16. I like the fiorst one, looks man made and at the same time, natural.

    Are these sculpture permanent?

  17. Ann, no these sculptures were only on display for about three weeks. It's an annual exhibition, so there are different ones every year.
