EPSTEIN “INDECENCIES”
STATUES TO BE DEMOLISHED BAI.A. DOES NOT WANT THEM. NEW ZEALAND’S STRAND BUILDING By Triegraph~Preß» Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, Sept. 26. The group of Epstein statues on the British Medical Association’s building in the Strand, which shocked London 25 years ago and became known as the Epstein indecencies, but the nakedness of which has been considerably toned down by London grime, is again in the limelight. Tile New Zealand Government now owns/the building, which has been marked out for demolition. The Medical Association says it is not feasible to make an oiler for the statues for its new building in Tavistock Square because Epstein would hardly harmonise with the Elizabethan courtyard.
