Millward Square and the Paolozzi Mosaics, Redditch

Outside inside Millward Square, Redditch, Worcestershire - where some fine Eduardo Paolozzi mosaics are displayed.

According to:-

ruthmillington.co.uk/the-paolozzi-mosaics/

'Mosaics, of important art historical significance (and worth millions of pounds), have recently been restored and re-instated in a Redditch shopping centre. The mosaics were originally commissioned in the 1980s and designed by one of the pioneers of pop art, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. The mosaics are characteristic of Paolozzi’s signature style, revealing his affinity for collage, vibrant colour, rhythmic lines and abstracted forms, whilst paying tribute to Redditch’s history as a centre for needlework. The 12 panels are huge, each measuring 21 x 10 feet, and are some of the most significant public art in the Midlands.

Who was Eduardo Paolozzi?

Born to Italian immigrant parents, Sir Eduardo Luigi Paolozzi (1924 – 2005) studied at Edinburgh College of Art, St. Martin’s School of Art and the Slade School of Art. Following his studies, Paolozzi lived in Paris from 1947 to 1949 where he experienced the work of the Surrealists and Dadaists, and met contemporary artists such as Alberto Giacometti and Jean Dubuffet. He also befriended other young Scottish artists in the city, including William Gear, William Turnbull and Alan Davie.'
