Sculpture in healthcare

Documented installations

The catalogue includes 35 records documenting placement and 1 installation in progress. Present-day placement has not been confirmed for every work. 36 artwork/project records concerning sculpture in healthcare settings, each with its sources and the category of source it cites. These records document practice, not measured health effects.

One record is one artwork, or one ensemble presented as a single work, at one institution: The Miraculous Journey is one record of fourteen sculptures. Photographs appear where a licence or permission is recorded; a verified record without a photograph is preferred to an unconfirmed one with a photograph. About source categories and verification.

The Acrobat

Allen Jones RA

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital
London, United Kingdom

An atrium-scale steel work integrated into Chelsea and Westminster Hospital when it opened in 1993. It illustrates commissioning during the building programme.

Installed sculpture Source: institution or artist

W-01 · 1993

Installation record & sources

Date: 1993
Material: Steel
Scale: Given as 18 m by the hospital charity
Setting: Indoor atrium, spanning three floors
Commissioning: Hospital arts programme established at the outset of the capital project
Consultation: Not published. The commissioning account describes a direct relationship between a clinician and the artist.

Sources conflict on both the title and the height. CW+ gives 18 m and the title The Acrobat. The archival record of the hospital's arts programme describes a 54-foot steel sculpture spanning three floors, titled Acrobatic Dancer. Fifty-four feet is approximately 16.5 m. Neither figure should be quoted without confirmation from CW+.

Source category: Institution or artist source. Verification: Awaiting a claim-by-claim check. Current placement: The CW+ sources conflict on the title and height.

Evaluation: No work-specific health-outcome evaluation identified in the reviewed sources.

Man and Freedom

Ivan Meštrović

Mayo Clinic
Rochester, Minnesota, United States

A monumental work in Mayo Clinic's art collection, useful as a precedent for the long-term stewardship and relocation of hospital sculpture.

Installed sculpture Source: institution or artist

W-08 · 1954

Installation record & sources

Date: 1954
Material: Cast bronze
Scale: 28 feet (approximately 8.5 m), 6,900 pounds, per Mayo Clinic's own publications
Setting: Originally mounted on the north face of the Mayo Building; relocated in August 2000 to the Nathan Landow Atrium of the Gonda Building

Source category: Institution or artist source. Verification: Awaiting a claim-by-claim check.
