Battersea Park has a history of displaying sculpture by major artists, with large triennial exhibitions in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, although the 1954 and 1957 exhibitions took place in Holland Park instead of Battersea Park. More recently the park presents an annual student sculpture prize with the winning sculpture going on show in for a year. Some of the current sculptures have remained in the park since the large exhibitions.
