Sculpture recreates iconic photo

A new public artwork based on an iconic photograph by Italian-born Scottish photographer Oscar Marzaroli has been unveiled in Glasgow.



"Gorbals Boys", by Liz Peden, comprises three sculptures cast in bronze and chrome of small boys in their mother's high heels playing in the street. The £40,000 work sits in the area at the corner of Cumberland Street and Queen Elizabeth Gardens.



Marzaroli, who died in 1988 aged 55, produced a remarkable photographic record of post-war Scotland. He is most famous for a series of iconic images taken in the Gorbals in the 1960s. The original photograph was taken by Marzaroli in the Gorbals in 1963.
