Fulcrum, Steel sculpture at Broadgate, England
The Fulcrum consists of five weathering steel plates reaching 55 feet high, creating a structure with three distinct entrance points near Liverpool Street station.
In 1987, Richard Serra installed this monumental sculpture as part of the Broadgate development, marking a significant addition to London's public art collection.
The sculpture exemplifies Serra's artistic philosophy of creating works where viewers become active participants by entering and experiencing the space within the structure.
Located at the western entrance of Liverpool Street station, the sculpture stands in a circular area surrounded by retail establishments and pedestrian walkways.
During the redevelopment of 100 Liverpool Street, engineers executed the technical challenge of lowering this massive steel structure by 1.5 meters while maintaining its integrity.
