Last cast of Eros for V&A museum

12 April 2012

A replica of Eros is finished at the Black Isle Bronze fine art foundry in the Highlands.

The cast of the Piccadilly Circus sculpture is to go on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum

It was agreed when the rights to the work were sold 20 years ago that only 10 copies would be made and this is the last of them.

The statue by Sir Alfred Gilbert is also the symbol of the Evening Standard.
