Enter the Civic Centre grounds from the Broome Street-Napier Street side. Follow the public garden paths to the four-part work.
Japanese sculptor Yoshio Nitta designed Four Pots to work with the space and sky around it. A reviewer described the sculpture as a harmony of copper, stainless steel, stone and resin through which Nitta encouraged viewers to look upwards at the blue sky. Move between the four forms and notice how the openings, materials and surrounding garden keep changing the composition.
Four Pots also marks the beginning of Cottesloe's permanent Sculpture by the Sea collection. After its 2005 exhibition, local residents contributed towards its purchase for the Town - the first of many works from the annual exhibition to find a permanent home around Cott.
You'll now find it in the Cottesloe Civic Centre grounds, a much greener setting than the beach where it was first shown. Take time to explore the surrounding heritage gardens while you're here.
