How the Lending Programme Works

The Cass Sculpture Foundation's resource of over 80 monumental contemporary sculptures forms the basis of the new Lending Programme.

The fee for hiring these pieces is charged on a monthly basis at a percentage of the sculptures' selling prices, with average monthly fees ranging from £500 to £11,000. The Foundation's expertise in the transportation, installation and health and safety issues involved in the display of public sculpture are just some of the major benefits offered to lessees.

Benefits of the Lending Programme

The Foundation's Lending Programme was developed to give lessees freedom and flexibility from the commitment of commissioning monumental sculpture or buying it outright.

As initiators of the Fourth Plinth Project in Trafalgar Square, London, the Foundation has long recognised the need for changing public sculpture as its role and purpose continues to be called into question.

Who the Lending Programme Was Developed For?

The Lending Programme affords individuals, local authorities and developers the opportunity to temporarily display acclaimed sculpture from the best established and emerging sculptors, including artists such as Bill Woodrow, Anthony Caro, Phillip King, Tony Cragg, Steven Gregory, Eilís O'Connell, Sarah Staton, Tim Morgan and Thomas Ostenberg.
