In 2004, Claudette Schreuders was commissioned to do four life size bronzes of South Africa's Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Albert Luthuli and F.W. de Klerk for the Waterfront in Cape Town. This is Desmond.
Does it work? There has been a lot of criticism of the four statues - as they depict four men with some gravitas yet are quite quirky. I prefer them to the usual bronze statues, and the seagulls find these guys quite difficult to perch on.
