October 2012: Trust’s sculptures valued at $7.5 million
- Wellington Sculpture Trust
- Extract from an address to the Joint Annual Dinner of the Karori Rotary and Lions Clubs, 31 October 2012 by Neil Plimmer, Chairman of the Wellington Sculpture Trust. “We get much favourable feedback from the public about the 25 sculptures that we have provided for Wellington over our lifetime, but the proof that holds the most sway is that Wellingtonians keep funding them. We thrive on the support and benefaction of the people of Wellington. “The total cost of the 25 sculptures is $4.5 million which inflation-adjusted yields about $7.5 million. The overwhelming bulk of this is raised privately, from companies, family trusts, individuals, grant-giving bodies and other sources.
