In which location will you find a bronze sculpture of a group of 4 life-sized pigs called "A Day Out"?

Adelaide is the capital city of the state of South Australia. In the city’s Rundle Mall is a bronze sculpture of a group of life-sized pigs, officially known as “A Day Out”. The sculpture was commissioned by the City of Adelaide in 1997 as the winning entry of the Rundle Mall National Sculpture Competition to mark the final phase of the Mall upgrade. It was unveiled in 1999.

A public competition was run to name the pigs. They were given the names “Truffles” (the standing pig), “Horatio” (the sitting pig), “Oliver” (the pig at the bin) and “Augusta” (the trotting pig). They are depicted in lively poses as if they were walking the street, greeting shoppers, and sniffing out a bargain.

The sculpture was the work of Marguerite Derricourt who was born in South Africa and graduated from Rhodes University Art School (Eastern Cape province of South Africa) with a B.A. (Batchelor of Arts) in Fine Arts in 1966. She travelled extensively in Africa and Europe, living and working in Berlin, Livingstone, London and Cambridge before emigrating to Sydney in 1986.

She demonstrates an affinity with animals in her many public artworks and for the Adelaide exhibit she was also partly inspired by the famous bronze wild boar of Florence, “Il Porcellino”. She has worked in a broad variety of media, from cast bronze to melted wax and hessian, from welded aluminium to neon and fibre glass, from moulded paper to chicken wire.
