The bright pink bikini finds a new home
By Cara Sulieman
AFTER a week in place, a sculpture has already been welcomed to the capital by being decked out in a bright pink bikini.
The figure of a man – part of the new Antony Gormley ‘6 Times’ installation – had the luminous swimsuit tied round him at the weekend.
He is one of six life-size figures placed along the Water of Leith from the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the sea at Leith Docks.
Due to be unveiled next week, the statues are still being installed and it is just days since this particular figure was put in place.
The bikini-clad statue is standing in the middle of the Water of Leith in Stockbridge and can be seen by passer-bys on the busy Deanhaugh Street over the river.
