Hmm, I think I know the one you mean - four figures standing in a circle, with their backs to each other, holding hands. Can't think where it is though...

It's called 'Crown' by Faith Babbington and it's near Leeds Nuffield Hospital. Image taken from leedsartallery.co.uk.http://www.leedsartgallery.co.uk/review ... /l0008.php

If this had been a 'What & Where' it would have been one of the very few that I would have known! I thought I would add this photo of the group that I took on March 16 2012.

This is the plaque with the group. Edit added just after posting. I've noticed that the group is called 'The Human Spirit' on the plaque but is called the 'Crown' in the Art Gallery information. Very odd!

That's interesting about the name, just shows you - never believe what you read on a website. Especially not this one I quite like it, nowt to set the world on fire but it makes for a decent roundabout!
