Bromley
The Whisper was originally commissioned by Sainburys as a resin work to be sited outside
Homebase in Bromley in 1981. A bronze version was commissioned by the Milton Keynes Development
Corporation as a work ideally suited to its site outside the MK public library, a space where people
meet and socialise. Wallace's distinctive heavy figures, larger than life-size, sit relaxed and
at ease watching the world go by. In contrast to many public sculptures they seem to be the
observers rather than the observed as one whispers gossip or comment to the other.
Andre Wallace has been undertaking commissions for public sculptures since the 1970s
and his work can be seen across Britain - from Salford and Newcastle to London's Docklands

Richard writes: "I grew up in East Dulwich and the house on the corner of Lordship Lane and Underhill Road
was a childrens home in the 70's - definitely. I was about 10 at the time I think so would've been around 77/78.
It was run by a woman known as Auntie Lena and I had a few friends at the time who lived in there, so I used
to be round there quite a bit! I cant remember any of the kids there being much older than me and I think
there were only about 8 kids there at any one time. Every time I go past there I have fond memories!
