List of public art in the City of Sydney facts for kids

Interloop (2017) at Wynyard station

Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, is home to many amazing public artworks. These artworks are found all over the city. They serve different purposes. Some are just for art, while others remember important people or events. Some are monuments or memorials. Others are also fountains or designed for a specific place.

Famous architects like Harry Seidler and Renzo Piano sometimes include art in their building designs. Sometimes, artworks are moved or removed. The City of Sydney has rules for public art. They also work to keep the art in good condition.

Artists use many different materials for these sculptures. You can see traditional materials like marble and bronze. Newer materials include steel, concrete, and aluminium. In the 21st century, art that moves (kinetic), makes music, or makes you think (conceptual) started to appear.

Many famous artists from around the world have their work in Sydney. For example, Bertram Mackennal and Bronwyn Oliver were Australian. Gilbert Bayes and Henry Moore were British. François-Léon Sicard and Henri Alfred Jacquemart were French. Alexander Calder and Jenny Holzer are American. Kan Yasuda and Jun'ya Ishigami are Japanese.

Some memorials are fountains, like the Levy Drinking Fountain. Others are statues of people, like the one for William Bede Dalley. The Lawson Memorial honors a writer. The John Christie Wright Memorial Fountain remembers a sculptor. The Dobell Memorial is for a painter. The Morshead Fountain is for a soldier. Il Porcellino remembers surgeons. Besides people, art also celebrates important things about Sydney, like navigation and nature. Bronze statues of James Cook, Arthur Phillip, and Matthew Flinders honor their exploration skills.

Artworks often feature plants, children, or abstract ideas. Local plants are shown in sculptures like Veil of Trees and Edge of the Trees. Busby's Bore is about water. Native animals appear in Dancing Brolgas. Farm animals are seen in Trim and Mare and Foal. The importance of children is shown in the Tank Stream Fountain and the memorial to Hans Christian Andersen. Some artworks use old stories to share a message. Others use abstract shapes to show an idea.
