Photos follow, with info on each in the PiPs. I try to go to Frieze Sculpture every year (I'll miss 2025, however). I wasn't impressed by the 2024 sculptures, but it's always enjoyable to amble around Regent's Park looking at them.

Designed by William McMillan (the same block who designed the fountains in Trafalgar Square) in 1936, although installation was delayed until 1950 due to World War II. It was to the gardens by the painter and sculptor Sigismund Goetze, who had died by the time it was installed, so his wife Constance dedicated it to his memory. It's located in Queen Mary's Garden in the Inner Circle, Regent's Park. Grade II listed.
