The lease on the current sculpture, Stargazer III, by Stephen King is due for renewal on April 30, but the artist has recommended council purchase a new piece to replace it.
The new sculpture, titled Balancing the Books, is valued at $35,000, but has been offered to Tamworth Regional Council at $19,500 in “acknowledgement for loan fees paid for Stargazer III.
The price of the new piece can be covered in the existing 2016/17 public art budget, along with an estimated $2000 to $4000 for “additional installation costs”.
