Horse and Rider, Bronze sculpture in Westminster, England
The Horse and Rider bronze sculpture depicts a mounted male figure on a horse and stands at the corner of Dover Street and Piccadilly in central London. The work is protected by Grade II listing status and forms part of the public art collection in this commercial district.
Elisabeth Frink created this bronze sculpture in 1975, when the artist worked at the boundary between traditional figurative representation and modern artistic interpretation. The work later received its protected status and marks a significant moment in London's public art development.
The work shows how artists in the 1970s shaped public spaces with modern sculptures while reinterpreting traditional forms. Visitors see here a piece that defines contemporary art in an everyday urban setting.
The sculpture sits near shops and offices at a busy street corner and is easily reached on foot. The work is accessible year-round and can be viewed at no cost by passing visitors.
Frink used special surface texture on the bronze that changes how light and shadow play across the form, giving the sculpture a living quality. This technique makes the work compelling to view in both daylight and twilight conditions.
