The Cass Sculpture Foundation's 11 million investment for London

'Congratulations to the Cass Sculpture Foundation for taking the initiative to commission sculptures now in anticipation of 2012. I look forward to seeing the works and I am happy to pay tribute to the remarkable vision of Wilfred and Jeannette Cass.'
The Right Hon Tessa Jowell, Minister for the Olympics

The Cass Sculpture Foundation will be commissioning 40-50 monumental sculptures from the best emerging and established sculptors in preparation for its London 2010 - 2012 programme. Over the next three years this commissioning initiative will produce 15 - 20 sculptures annually by over 40 artists. These will include works by esteemed sculptors such as Sarah Staton, Steven Gregory, Tim Morgan, Jon Isherwood, Tony Cragg, and Phillip King. Wilfred and Jeannette Cass, the founders of the Cass Sculpture Foundation, have invested £11 million in this groundbreaking venture which will facilitate the placing of acclaimed sculpture throughout the capital; including key sites such as Wembley stadium and King's Cross station.

Preparations for the Foundation's London 2010 - 2012 commissioning programme have been ongoing for the last two years. As a result the Foundation's grounds in West Sussex are now the temporary home to over 15 monumental sculptures which are destined for London. These include celebrated works by sculptors such as Stephen Cox, Bryan Kneale, Thomas Ostenberg and Eilís O'Connell.

As part of the Foundation's charitable mission all of these new works and their editions are available for sale and on loan in order to facilitate future commissions.
