Rowan Moore's Favourite Pieces Of Public Art

Writing in The Observer, Rowan Moore lists his top ten public artworks around Britiain. As one might expect, London is home to a number of them, but what makes Moore's list stand out is his mixture of the very familiar with some less known finds in unfancied destinations. Eros at Piccadilly Square and the fourth plinth at Trafalgar Square are known to millions, yet how many Londoners can say they're familiar with muf's Barking Town Square Folly, or Richard Wilson's Slice of Reality on the Greenwich Peninsula? Read the list in full, then argue about what he missed out.
