This excellent new book reminder us vividly of the potential of these collaborations, as it comprehensively surveys the public sculpture in outer south and west London. The cheerful fusion of architecture and sculpture is the main theme of this work. The books are well produced, in a large accessible format and are fully illustrated and researched.
