Man in a bus by Alison Duff

Artwork Detail

Alison Duff was one of Auckland’s foremost sculptors in the 1950s. She used concrete for modelling, as bronze casting was prohibitively expensive. These figures are a lesson in body language: the man looks down at his newspaper, reading; the woman stares straight ahead, lost in thought.

The sculptures may be exhibited as a portrait of a couple on a

bus, or as two people completely alone.
