description MacLeod narrates the tale of the bust of Charles James Fox by Joseph Nollekens (1737-1823). In the Auckland Art Gallery collection of sculpture is a remarkable work by Nollekens of one of his most famous subjects, Charles James Fox (1749-1806). This is the story of how this 18th-century bust ended up in far-away New Zealand at the beginning of the 20th century and its adventures along the way. It is also the story of three versions of the bust that were to become the most successful of all the portrait busts carved by Nollekens in his long career.
