The first 1,000 of Britain’s 150,000 publicly-owned sculptures have been published this week thanks to a project organized by Art UK. These works are global in nature and range in date from c. 1000 CE to modern times. The project includes photographing works that have yet to be been properly documented and the remaining works should be catalogued and online by the end of next year. This joins a similar Art UK project completed in 2012 that recorded the country’s 200,000 oil paintings.
