Frink Head

Fridays visit to Mother found me admiring these Dame Elisabeth Frink bronze heads on the shopping centre

Sculpted in 1990,  Frink's original design for a tableaux of horses, men and a dog, was rejected by Worthing councillors, one of whom objected to the anatomical detail of the naked figures.  Some have seen in the Desert Quartet (or ‘Frink Heads’ as they are known locally) the artist’s considered response to the rejection of her first designs. Nonetheless, the bronze heads are now estimated to be worth several millions of pounds. The complete row of heads can be seen here.
