Untitled by David MacMillan 1990

The red painted open steel forms, which are individually very precise & angular, combine to form a gracefully flowing shape. The form rises & falls in a rhythmic waveform. This was once on the Gateshead Garden Festival site across the river but was moved to its permanent home when the festival was over.

Lintzford by Nick lloyd 1990

First shown at the Gateshead Garden Festival, the work looks as if it is made up of the remains of a building. However the artist describes the work as portraying the countryside of Northumberland & Durham.
The title refers to where the artist lived in the Derwent Valley.


Spheres by Richard Cole 1990

Another sculpture that was originally at the Gateshead Garden Festival - the site of which is directly across the river and currently being redeveloped for housing. The spheres are made up of concrete rings of varying sizes.
The colours of the spheres vary as the aggregate used to make the concrete is exposed.
