44 Keith McCarter, Abstract Wall Relief, concrete, 1972

Status: Unlisted
Condition: Condition unknown
Type: Concrete
Owners: Unknown
Location: Charing Cross, Glasgow

This bold mural, composed of nineteen precast concrete blocks, was commissioned as part of a development centred on an office block, and forms part of the walkway to Glasgow’s Charing Cross railway station.

Each of the mural’s blocks is approximately 1.3 metres wide, and the advancing and receding of alternate planes creates space for a variety of textural effects.

Pink shot-blast concrete with later colours.
