NT1871 : "knowledge is wonderful"
The sculpture is called "Wealth of Nations"
inscribed on the base is a quotation from Einstein: "Knowledge is wonderful, but imagination is even better"
It was designed to be read from a moving vehicle, with the imagination making connections between the hands and the feet of the figure represented, and thus making the 'blank' spaces between them 'work'. Paolozzi himself said: The spectator in movement will see one mass protrude over another with the changes of image accelerated for people passing in cars (ITV programme, 8 July 1993).
So we need a picture taken from a moving bus...
