Central Park East, 1972

Best known as a pioneer that inspired pop art, Eduardo Paolozzi was a Scottish artist whose works were focused on sculpture creation as well as art in general. After completing his schooling at the Edinburg College of Art as well as the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London Paolozzi found his way to Paris. Here he meant several other great artists such as Jean Arp and Alberto Giacometti who would be inspirations for later works. While the majority of Eduardo Paolozzi's work was done in sculpture form Paolozzi also dabbled in other artistic forms of work including acting and writing. However, these were simply a downplayed means to many of his notable sculptures that had become widely recognized as many works were presented on various projects or among other known architectural structures. Notable works include The Faraday sculpture located at the University of Birmingham, the Athena sculpture and the Redditch mosaics.
