A 1965 memorial bust of John F. Kennedy by Jacques Lipchitz stands in the lobby of International Students House on Great Portland Street in London, England,[1] and is visible from the outside through the glass doors. It was moved there in April 2019 from its original location on the Marylebone Road,[2] to the west of Great Portland Street underground station, after it was vandalised in 2017.[3] [4]
The bronze bust was unveiled on 15 May 1965 by the subject's brother, Robert F. Kennedy.[1] It was originally set on a pedestal of polished black granite.
An adjacent plaque read:[5]
It is now on a new plinth. The old plinth remains in place, and bears a sign giving directions to the new location nearby.
The bust is a unique cast, but another bust of Kennedy by Lipchitz was installed on 11 November 1965 in Military Park, Newark, New Jersey, United States.[6]
