Wakefield Westgate Railway Station - Public Art

Public Art

On Platform 2, between 1988 and 2009, there was a modern sculpture 'A Light Wave' by the Leeds-based artist Charles Quick. The installation comprised a series of wooden planks laid up against a wall, in the form of waves, and illuminated from behind by a succession of lamps. However, the sculpture fell into disrepair and was removed.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or art:

    “Kirsten: So you’re the new public relations man.
    Joe: Yeah.
    Kirsten: What happened to Eddie?
    Joe: Eddie quit.
    Kirsten: I liked him. Why’d he quit?
    Joe: Well, a little matter of personal integrity. Eddie didn’t feel that getting dates for potentates was part of public relations.
    Kirsten: But isn’t it?
    Joe: Well, there’s a name for it but it’s not “public relations.””
    —J.P. (James Pinckney)

    “All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)
