- Verity (dt. Wahrheit) ist eine mehr als 20 Meter hohe, 25 Tonnen schwere Bronzestatue des britischen Künstlers Damien Hirst an der Hafeneinfahrt des englischen Küstenorts Ilfracombe. Sie wurde am 19. Oktober 2012 aufgestellt und zeigt eine schwangere junge Frau, deren Organe einschließlich der Gebärmutter und des Fötus auf der rechten Seite sichtbar sind, ähnlich den Körperwelten des deutschen Arztes und Plastinologen Gunther von Hagens. Als sie aufgestellt wurde war Verity die höchste Statue in Großbritannien. Seit 2013 wird sie jedoch von den The Kelpies, bei Falkirk in Schottland, die 30 m hoch sind, übertroffen. (de)
- Verity is a 2012 stainless steel and bronze statue created by Damien Hirst. The 20.25-metre (66.4 ft) tall sculpture stands on the pier at the entrance to the harbour in Ilfracombe, Devon, looking out over the Bristol Channel towards South Wales. It has been loaned to the town for 20 years. The name of the piece refers to "truth" and Hirst describes his work as a "modern allegory of truth and justice". The statue depicts a pregnant woman holding aloft a sword while carrying the scales of justice and standing on a pile of law books. Half of the sculpture shows the internal anatomy of the pregnant woman, with the foetus clearly visible. The stance has been described as a reference to Little Dancer of Fourteen Years by Edgar Degas, a c. 1880 work that previously inspired Hirst when he created Virgin Mother, another massive sculpture of a pregnant woman with her foetus exposed. The sculpture was cast in stainless steel and bronze in 40 separate sections by the foundry in Stroud. The sword, which gives the statue much of its height, and the upper left arm is one fibreglass piece. Measuring 25cm (10 inches) higher than the Angel of the North, Verity became the tallest statue in the UK when it was put into place, but is now surpassed by The Kelpies, near Falkirk, Scotland, at 30 metres (98 ft). Members of North Devon Council referred to the controversial nature of the statue as a potential boost to tourism. In August 2013 councillors announced that the statue had a "tremendous effect" with people visiting the town solely to see Hirst's work. Hirst, who lives in Combe Martin, has loaned the statue to the town for 20 years starting from its erection on 16 October 2012. (en)
