Sculpture of a Fallen Woman in Exchange Square

Walking to a new client in Exchange Square near Broadgate at Liverpool Street, freezing in the middle of a snow storm (OK it was some strong flurries, but this is London we are talking about).

To one side I saw this very large sculpture - I only found out the name later.  Looking it up, the "Broadgate Venus" is a 5 ton bronze sculpture.  Apparently she sits as a mighty symbol and reminder of the greed that exists in the City of London!

It was created by the Columbian artist and sculptor Fernando Botero in 1990.
