Alan Dunn said 'mystical' work had inspired generations
A major new Liverpool art prize was awarded to the sculptor behind a work "adopted" by the people of Liverpool.
He said: “We sunk these two chairs in for six months and walked away. They stayed for 27 years." A piece of graffiti on the wall next to the chairs which wrote “Ray + Julie'' gave the name to the piece and gave life to the chairs, with people imagining a couple sitting opposite each other. Dunn had decommissioned the chairs and then took the opportunity to “create two new art works” by moving RAY to Liverpool Parish Church while JULIE now sits alone on London Road.
Mr Dunn explained how his simple proposal for the competition of “single chair, make it white, elevate it” took both just 10 minutes and also almost 30 years.
