Find Liquorice Allsorts near Eric Street and Mann Street, beside North Cottesloe Primary School. View it from the public footpath outside the school.
North Cottesloe Primary School specifically asked the Town to locate a new sculpture near the school as part of its centenary celebrations. The Town's Art Acquisition Panel considered the school setting when selecting works from Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2013, and WA artist Michael Grau's Liquorice Allsorts was purchased and permanently installed here.
The work consists of three colourful forms, each about 84 centimetres high. Their stacked shapes and bright colours make the confectionery reference easy to see, but the school setting has given the title another local meaning over the years. Families like the idea that the real “Allsorts” are the generations of different personalities and characters growing up at North Cott.
You'll find the sculpture near Eric and Mann streets beside the school. Kinetic Interference is nearby, while a short wander brings you to Jasper Green with more sculpture, Justin Martin's mural and a playground - a surprisingly art-rich little pocket for families to explore.
