HippopoThames

Yesterday Totally Thames launched Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman’s latest floating artwork HippopoThames (2014) his first UK commission. It represents all those hippos that used to frolic in the Thames many moons ago. The 21-metre-thingies-long hippo sculpture was towed upriver and berthed at Nine Elms on the South Bank, where it will stay until 28 September. Totally Thames is a new month-long festival of arts, cultural and river events along the 42-mile stretch of the Thames in London (CLICK).
