The Gateshead Angel of the North is Britain's largest sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley for Gateshead Council. It weighs 200 tons, is 20m high and has a 54m wing span, which the equivalent of 4 stacked double decker buses, and it's wingspan matches that of a jumbo jet. The rich red/brown colour comes from the weathering steel which can withstand winds of more than 100 miles per hour. It one of the most popular pieces of public art in England.
