Cavern Walks, Liverpool Monkey.

Cavern walks In 1984 Cavern Walks was built on part of the site of the original world famous Cavern Club (demolished to make way for a never to arrive ventilation shaft for downtown Liverpool's underground rail system.)

In its detailing there is a sculpture of a gorilla applying lipstick. This came about when scouse architect David Backhouse proposed putting decoration on the building a developer told him:

"Art is to architecture like lipstick is to a gorilla.





MIND GORILLA?
