‘Old Head’
An old head indeed, but in fact a new- ish double life size bronze bust of Sir John Logan Campbell, a founding father of modern Auckland.
The sculpture lies in the central park on land gifted by him to the city.
The sculptor has even gone to the detail of including the subject’s initials on a monogrammed breast pocket kerchief – nice touch!
