Just a few good Article Contest photos I discovered:
Chopin Sculpture – Southbank Centre
Image by Alan Stanton
The sculpture, designed by the Polish sculptor Bronislaw Kubica, stands exterior the Royal Festival Hall, dealing with Queen Elizabeth Hall.
The inscription reads: Fryderyk Chopin 1810-1849. "Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties." – a citation from Chopin.
The sculpture, a present from Poland in 1975, was put in storage throughout growth works on the Southbank, renovated after which re-sited in 2011. Partially summary, the top appears to indicate the traditional two sides of Chopin with the face break up between a assured youthful composer and the strained sick man in a photograph taken in 1949. (This is typically contested.)

From an oral historical past of Susan Miller
"1975 actually, in a warehouse space on Langton Street. It was, in fact, an old casket factory in a light-industrial building of the kind common to San Francisco’s South of Market district.
