Silver Jubilee Crystal Crown, Relief sculpture at Tower Hotel, London Borough of Tower Hamlets, England.
The Silver Jubilee Crystal Crown is a transparent acrylic sculpture with intricately carved details mounted on the Tower Hotel wall. The work is crafted from a single solid block of material and receives backlighting in the evening.
The work was created in 1977 by a renowned sculptor to commemorate a significant royal jubilee. The acrylic block used originally came from a project that was intended for a famous science fiction film.
This work was created to honor a major royal occasion and stands prominently on a hotel by the waterfront. It represents a moment of national celebration and shows how artists of that era engaged with modern synthetic materials.
The sculpture stands in a busy location near docks and shopping areas easily reached by subway. You can best appreciate it in the evening when the backlighting makes the transparent material glow.
The material came from the largest solid acrylic block ever made at that time. This exceptional size made it possible to carve the entire work from a single piece.
