Angel of the North #4
The Angel of the North is a contemporary sculpture completed in 1998, that is seen by an estimated 33 million people every year due to its proximity to primary road and rail routes. It stands 20 metres (66 ft) tall with a wingspan of 54 metres (177 ft). The vertical ribs on its body and wings act as an external skeleton which direct oncoming wind to the sculpture's foundations, allowing it to withstand wind speeds of over 100 miles per hour (160 km/h).
Its colour comes from being made of CORE-TEN weathering Steel, which forms a protective rust like layer.
