Digital Abstracts
By Steve Wilde

Epstein Express
June 22, 2004

Been pacing the streets again with the digital camera. Well when the rain has let off. Got a few shots in Fleet Street that I'll get posted here soon...

There's this close up from the Express Building for now and a digital zoom [hence the lack of quality] of one of Jacob Epstein's nude sculptures made in 1907 for the outside walls of Charles Holden's building on the Strand [now Zimbabwe House].

Considered shocking by Edwardian standards, they were later hacked and mutilated for 'decency', hence the state they are in now...

I imagine Epstein's most famous piece is his Rock Drill, used on the cover of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band's album of the same name.
