Banned! The statues they won't let you see

Banksy and Ronald Reagan make strange bedfellows. But they, together with the eminent sculptor Sir Anthony Caro, have something in common – they're not welcome in central London. Not, at least, in the eyes of the jury of experts that decides what public art should be allowed.

Obviously, the ban does not apply to the dead former US president, but rather to a bronze statue of him on the Berlin Wall, proposed for Grosvenor Square in Mayfair.

The project has joined other artworks and monuments rejected by the little-known Westminster Public Art Advisory Committee, whose work is rarely publicised despite its power to influence the look of some of the capital's best-known locations.
