The Neighbours, Public sculpture in Highbury Quadrant Estate, London, United Kingdom
The Neighbours consists of two life-size human figures positioned on a bench, created from synthetic resin mixed with powdered stones, standing 4 feet high.
The London County Council commissioned artist Siegfried Charoux in 1957 to create this sculpture for the housing projects at Quadrant Estate in Islington.
The sculpture represents social connections through its design of two individuals sharing a bench, reflecting the community values of post-war British society.
Located near Clissold Park, the sculpture underwent renovation in 2009 to maintain its condition and ensure its preservation for future generations.
A bronze maquette measuring 7 inches of The Neighbours was sold at Christie's auction house in 2011 for £2,250.
