Description: | Blue-grey metal shape similar in appearance to the prow of a ship. It has a red-painted heavy chain with large links draped over and round it. Additional Information: One of the anchors with its chain, used to moor the concrete sill units which lie at the base of the barrier. The sills were constructed with air compartments in them so that they were buoyant and could be floated into position, after which they were filled with ballast and sunk. At one point they were moored in the river and in the Royal Docks using the anchors used in the sculpture [but check if these anchors were used specifically for this purpose or not??]. | Subjects: | Readymade | Source: | Vads | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6980... | Go to resource |
