Botanic Gardens, Mirroring

"Mirroring" is a sculpture created by Danish artist Keld Moseholm in 1995. It is located beside the Twin Ponds in the Royal Botanic Gardens. This sculpture was the winner of Sculpture by the Sea in Sydney in 2010. It is part of a scheme begun this year to display the winners of that competition in the Botanic Gardens or adjoining Domain for ten years before being moved on to other public gardens.

  7. Fabulous piece - great idea to display them afterwards! Do they pay the artists? ( Always the big ?? in these matters)

  8. Red Pat, I'm not sure about that but I imagine they would. I don't know whether they are buying the pieces. I think they are more likely leasing them.
