LORD NAPIER OF MAGADALA by Eleonora Aguiari

The equestrian statue of Lord Napier of Magdala,
situated on Queens Gate in West London has been hacked in 2004 by Eleonora Aguiari, a Royal College of Art (RCA)
student for her final show.

In order to do this she needed clearance letters from the RCA
Rector, a professor, the Victoria and Albert Museum conservation
department and the RCA conservation department, bronze tests,
a scaffolding license, indemnity insurance, and
permission from English Heritage (who own the statue),
the City of Westminster, two Boroughs (Chelsea and Kensington,
as their boundary bisects the length of the horse) and the present
Lord Napier.Then a layer of cling wrap and almost 80 rolls of red
duct tape were applied by 4 people working for 4 days.
