In 2007, Futurecity proposed a major new monumental sculpture commission for Ebbsfleet Valley in Kent to Land Securities, LCR and Eurostar. Futurecity were subsequently commissioned to develop a shortlist of international artists, curate and project manage this unique public art project.
In 2008 Mark Wallinger was awarded the commission. His winning project was for the erection of a white horse, 50 meters high, realistic in all detail - a thoroughbred stallion of immense proportions, standing in a field in the countryside.
This sculpture is the product of state-of-the-art technology: the live, thoroughbred racehorse that is the model for the finished work was 3D scanned in sections, using a white light scanner; this is the first time that a live horse has been scanned.
The limited edition is 1/10 scale of the real horse and approximately 1/250 scale of the final landmark. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a perfect replica of The White Horse, evoking the spirit of a monument that is destined to become one of the iconic emblems of our age.
