This program spotlights 100 public sculptures in Britain. It is a journey through one hundred public artworks made across one hundred years. The journey begins with Thomas Brock's Queen Victoria memorial, completed in 1904, and ends with Marc Quinn's Alison Lapper pregnant, in Trafalgar Square. Along the way, the film features sculptures by Jacob Epstein, Eric Gill, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Richard Deacon, Anish Kapoor and Rachel Whiteread. Some of the artworks are famous, many more are completely forgotten, but all are accessible to the public. Introduced by critics or by the artists themselves, they tell stories of patronage, controversy or vandalism through time.
