Liverpool Sculpture Prize 2024

The winner of the 2024 Liverpool Sculpture Prize is ‘Ascension’ by Glasgow-born artist Alan Dunn.

Dunn has been based in the Liverpool City Region since 1995, the year he co-created the RAY + JULIE sculpture with Brigitte Jurack. The sculpture, consisting of two chairs, was originally commissioned by the Furniture Resource Centre.  The original RAY + JULIE artwork existed for 27 years at the London Road site.

The iconic sculpture has been reworked to separate the chairs, with RAY now at the plinth and JULIE left behind on London Road. It is the first time in 27 years they will have been separated and will remind us of the solice and support that faith brings to the lonely and the forgotten.

‘Ascension’ sees RAY installed at the Plinth on Liverpool Parish Church for twelve months.
