As new houses and public spaces were planned, communal engagement was considered to be vital to social recovery. Public art was thought to provide the means to create this engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis era of post-war progressive civic architecture and art gave rise to some of the UK’s most important pieces of public art. From Richard Serra’s Fulcrum in London’s Broadgate to Barbara Hepworth’s works across the country, to the less well-known Cumisky mural in Skelmersdale and the vivid Schottlander shapes in Warwick, these works of art have become familiar companions; backdrops to British lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is an urgency to catalogue these works, as much of Britain’s Modernist public art is at risk – not to mention that which has already been removed, vandalised or left to crumble. In Concrete Poetry, Simon Phipps photographs, explores and celebrates Britain’s post-war public art, placing it in context and considering its future. Complete with incredible photography, an introduction by Phipps, an essay by Darren Umney and detailed captions, Concrete Poetry honours not only of the artworks themselves, but also the community spirit of the age from which they came.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gs-pd-text\"\u003e\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gs-pd-text\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon Phipps is a photographer and the creator of the New Brutalism collection of photography on Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter.

She specialises in a creative approach to shaping books with debut authors, brands and personalities, and has published multiple top ten bestsellers across memoir, media, sport, history categories.
