Liverpool Street Station Gets Polka Dot Sculpture

The title of this post, is the same as that as this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

A huge artwork made up of silver polka dots has been unveiled outside Britain’s busiest railway station.

These are the first two paragraphs.

Infinite Accumulation is Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s first permanent public artwork in the UK and her largest permanent public sculpture.

Funded by British Land and the City of London Corporation, it is the final artwork commissioned and installed by the Crossrail Art Programme for the Elizabeth line.

I took these pictures today.

Note.

1. The area is getting to be a bit of a sculpture park, with other sculptures and plaques.
2. All are protected by the City of London’s distinctive bollards. See The City Of London’s Soldiers for more pictures.
3. The new sculpture, is probably worth nicking, with all that stainless steel.
4. Liverpool Street station is a Grade Two Listed Building.
5. I shall be adding extra pictures here. I shall be taking some at sunset.

I do like the new sculpture and the way it fits with the surrounding buildings.
