The artwork, titled “Detail of the Clock at the Top of Broadcasting House,” was created by the renowned artist Eric Gill. Falling within the Art Deco movement, this piece exemplifies the genre of sculpture and design.
The artwork showcases the meticulous detail of a clock embedded within the architectural facade of Broadcasting House. The clock face, a harmonious blend of geometric shapes and intricate designs, features gold hands and Roman numerals against a white background, accentuated by a black framework. Surrounding the clock, the stone structure embodies quintessential Art Deco elements, characterized by bold, linear patterns and a stylized, mechanical aesthetic. Below the clock, a sculpted motif with winged elements adds to the architectural grandeur of the piece, highlighting Gill’s adeptness in merging functional design with decorative artistry.
