Artistic Vision

The acclaimed Spike Milligan Statue in Avenue House, Finchley, has re-galvanised interest in the proposed war memorial ‘Victory’ designed for Barnet some years back. This monumental sculpture, one and a half times life size, of a weary knight at the eye of the storm of battle offers Barnet the chance to offer a home to probably the most exciting artistic vision ever seen in the borough.
