Description:
Blink, and you’ll miss it. Never go to Pimlico (like most people) and you’ll miss it. The earliest of Paolozzi’s works to feature in the open air are these cast iron reliefs that cover a Tube ventilation shaft, just above Pimlico Station. This is classic Paolozzi. Cogs, gears, satellites, insects, anonymous machine parts: the four panels seem to depict an exploding space station. (Now we’ll never know if ants can be trained to sort tiny screws in space.) It’s not pretty, but we challenge you to find a more interesting ventilation shaft.
