Summary

Pathe synopsis: Both classical and modern sculpture is featured in this display arranged by the London County Council in the lovely setting of Holland Park. The classic "Warrior with Shield" by Henry Moore is one of the exhibits, and there is a "Warrior" in concrete by the young sculptor Elizabeth Frink. But perhaps the most arresting work is "Lot’s Wife", carved from a solid block of perspex by the pioneer in this medium, Arthur Fleischmann.
