The artwork, which was installed in 1991 on the Quay of Poole, a coastal town of Southern England, was originally commissioned by the Poole Arts Council. The piece was then gifted by the artist to the town and became a landmark for its residents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Sea Music<\/i> is Anthony Caro\u2019s only outdoor site-specific sculpture and it has been exposed to the coastal weather since its installation. Poole undergoes heavy rainfalls, even during the dryest months. <i>Sea\u00a0Music<\/i>\u2019s proximity to the sea has also contributed to its salt corrosion. Twenty-five years after its installation, the sculpture\u2019s steel\u00a0structure and color are showing signs of decay. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The \u20ac275,778 collected thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund (\u20ac227,972) and the ACE (Arts Council England) (\u20ac47,806) are intended to fund several projects: refurbish the work\u2019s structure, repaint it with the shade blue originally used by Caro, change the color of its platform to better display the sculpture, implement educational workshops and mediation projects with the public, particularly with local residents, and fund events celebrating the work\u2019s restoration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You can follow the project\u2019s developments as well as initiatives that have been implemented on the Sea Music Project page of the Poole Museum\u2019s website. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Poole\u00a0Museum (United-Kingdom) just announced, with a lot of enthusiasm, that they successfully obtained their Stage 2 Heritage &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":3651,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[574,576,74,40,575,579],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3666"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3666"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3666\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3672,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3666\/revisions\/3672"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sculpture-nature_local.test\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
