Tyne Anew
Art on the Riverside was the largest programme of public art in the UK. Funded by a £3.5m National Lottery grant and £2.7m from the public and private sectors, the programme was set up in 1995 and consists of a large range of artworks and design features. These were sited along the banks of the Rivers Tyne and Wear by local and internationally known artists.
Sited at the mouth of the Royal Quays development in North Tyneside, Mark di Suvero's 'Tyne Anew' revolves gently in the wind and seems to conduct and point to the evolving industrial riverside background.
