Detail for the Mural, Hilton Hotel
Artist: 
Gerard d'Alton Henderson
Patron: 
Hilton Hotel
Date Created: 
24 December 2008
First Placed in Singapore: 
1964
Current Location: 
Hilton Hotel, Orchard Road
entry: 

There are 15 panels, sometimes obscured with advertising banners.

The work is quite a presence on Orchard Rd, but no one I've talked to seems to know much about the artist. According to his homepage, he has had quite a career creating art in architectural settings. Has a nice line in east/west rhetoric.

See http://www.gerardhenderson.com/SingaporeReliefs.htm for some nice photos.
