I had been alerted to the stone wall photographs and along with the other material it all makes so much sense. 'The Nature of Art' is a completely sensible title for the exhibition.

Thursday 26th February.

I was visiting a couple of galleries and walked into Hanover Square seeing this 'object' and thinking that may be... and it was Sean Scully, Landline 2022, which was placed in 2023 upon completion of re-building works on the SW corner of the Square.

I had seen some photographs of gallery scale sculptures so this was not a complete surprise!
