Stay (sculptures)
''Stay'' are identical cast iron human form sculptures made by Antony Gormley and installed in two locations in the central city of Christchurch, New Zealand. The first sculpture was installed in the Avon River in September 2015. The second sculpture is still in storage at Canterbury Museum, to be installed in the north quadrangle of the Arts Centre in early 2016.
==Background==
Gormley visited Christchurch in 2007 and remembers it as a city "blessed with open spaces and relatively wide streets and no great high-rises". The central city received massive damage in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Gormley was approached in 2014 about contributing an artwork to Christchurch, and he provided two identical cast iron sculptures that can contribute to the 'healing' of the city, as he called it.〔
Gormley stated that he made his work available at a discounted rate, and had therefore asked for the price not to be revealed. The purchase and installation was funded by Christchurch City Council (CCC) and the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA). CCC contributed NZ$502,500 towards the cost, whilst CERA would not disclose the size of their contribution.〔
The first announcement about the legacy (i.e. permanent) artworks by Gormley was made in April 2015, when it was revealed that his work was to be installed in Christchurch as part of the Scape8 public art exhibition, to be held from 3 October to 15 November 2015.
