Another Place (sculpture)

Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by British artist Antony Gormley located at Crosby Beach in Merseyside, England.

[2][3] The work consists of cast iron figures which face out to sea, spread over a 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands.

As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea, and are subject to corrosion by seawater and colonisation by marine animals.

It was the subject of much controversy in Merseyside, although many people considered the figures to be beautiful pieces of art, and tourism in the local area increased.

[citation needed] The coastguard also expressed safety concerns, fearing that tourists could become stuck in soft sand and get cut off by the tide.
