Recycled Sculpture Show is a collective of 21 artists who care passionately about the planet and the impacts human beings have on the environment and the animal kingdom. This unique art exhibition focused on raising awareness of worldwide animal conservation. Artists re-used wasted resources and salvaged materials to create the animal sculptures, displayed around the London Zoo site throughout the summer.

The exhibition has been a huge hit with the public and has provoked much thought (especially from visiting school parties) about re-use and recycling and the interdependence of animals and humans. The show ends when the online auction hammer falls on Monday 20th October 2008. Please visit www.auctionatrium.com to view the exhibits and make a bid!
