Nymph

Nymph by Emilio Greco, Carlos Place, London

“Nymph” by Emilio Greco, 1973
Carlos Place, Mayfair
London, September 2014

“The statue is by Emilio Greco and dates to 1973. The inscription reminds us that the fountain and statue were ‘A gift to the City of Westminster from the President of the Italian Republic 20th November 1987. Sponsored by the Italian Banks in London’. The good people at London Remembers tell me that an identical statue is located in Padua.” (Nymph Returns to Carlos Place, Discovering London)
