IntroductionThis publication was created to locate and document the works of art that are publicly owned in the centralChristchurch area. The project has focused on the area within the four Avenues, a section of the city that containsthe majority of Christchurch’s notable public art works. The confinement of the survey to this area also serves tohigh light areas of the city not yet enhanced by art works.For the purpose of this study a work of art has been defined as a memorial, sculpture, fountain, or mural, that ispublicly owned. Other criteria is that the art work involve artistic input, and be in a location accessible to thepublic. An attempt has made been to include art that does not necessarily fit within the project’s definition. Theseart works are not publicly owned, however, they are accessible to the public. Subsequently these works have beenlisted in the appendices.This document summarises the information that has been collected by the Robert McDougall Art Gallery. This‘popular history’ is to inform and to act as a base for further study.Simone Stephens16 December, 1997
