Description
Platforms Piece, a three-figure sculptural group of 1985-1986, by Kevin Atherton.
MATERIALS: bronze, cast using the lost wax technique.
PLAN: the figures are positioned on two opposing platforms at Brixton Railway Station.
DESCRIPTION: the three life-size figures stand on the platforms as if waiting for trains. At the north end of the London Victoria-bound platform, a casually dressed black man stands at the back of the platform leaning against a wall with one leg raised and with his bag next to him on the platform. Opposite, near the edge of the Herne Hill-bound platform, a white woman holding a shopping bag in her left hand. At the south end of the London Victoria-bound platform, there is a standing black woman with her sports bag on the platform at her side (moved to this location from another platform, in 2023).
