Sculpture

Archibald fountain

The result of a bequest in the will of JF Archibald, the Archibald fountain took 13 years to organise and complete. Its French sculptor, François-Léon Sicard, never visited the site, which has become one of Sydney's enduring landmarks.

Il Porcellino

Sydney's favourite Italian boar, the statue of Il Porcellino is a curious addition to the Macquarie Street landscape.

Redfern Park

Redfern Park has always been a significant social, cultural, political and historical site for Aboriginal people both as a sporting venue and place of reflection for the community.

Statue of Queen Victoria, Druitt Street

One of Sydney's best known royal monuments, the statue of Queen Victoria outside the Queen Victoria Building, had a long Irish history before arriving in Sydney in 1987.

The Life and Death of Joe Lynch

Had it not been for Kenneth Slessor's poem 'Five Bells', the death of Joe Lynch might have been just another drowning in Port Jackson, not the first, and regrettably not the last. Slessor's poem inspired John Olsen's 1963 painting, Five Bells, on permanent display at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and his 1973 mural, Salute to Five Bells, installed in the northern foyer of the main concert hall at the Sydney Opera House. In the Royal Botanic Gardens near the Opera House gate, Guy Lynch's Satyr, modelled on Joe, looks out to sea to where his brother drowned and where the Manly Ferry passes on its daily route.

Archaeology of Bathing

Artwork by Robyn Bracken traces elements of former ladies baths at Woolloomooloo. A floating jetty and marine piles mark tidal change, the stair cage and portal frame reflect on the enclosed spaces associated with early bathing machines.

Lynch, Francis (Guy)

Guy Lynch, known in Sydney as Frank Lynch, was a sculptor commissioned to do busts of several prominent Australians in the early to mid 20th century. His works include The Satyr, modelled on his brother Joe, that sits in the Botanic Gardens, and the depiction of Aboriginal people on one of the bronze panels on the doors of the Mitchell Library as well as the Pozieres diorama in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. The brothers were born in Melbourne in the 1890s into a large Irish family that moved to New Zealand in the early 1900s. Both brothers enlisted with the New Zealand army in World War I and worked as artists on their discharge. Lynch's World War I memorial statue in Devonport, New Zealand, colloquially known as 'the untidy soldier', was also modelled on Joe. The brothers moved back to Australia in the 1920s, followed by their parents, and lived in a house purchased by Guy in Gladesville.

P&O Wall Fountain

Distinctive and significant public art work by renowned sculptor Tom Bass that was commissioned by P&O Orient Line for their new building on Hunter Street. It was fabricated in copper as a more affordable alternative to the original design of carving into the granite facade of the building.

The fountain became infamous after Oz Magazine published a satirical photograph in 1964 that showed three men of varying heights apparently using the fountain as a public toilet. Since then the work has been commonly referred to as 'The Urinal'. The photograph was the subject of a legal battle during which the editors of Oz Magazine were accused of promoting 'public pissing'. .
