The annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition in Sydney features dozens of sculptures on Bondi and Tamarama beaches and along the coastal path between them. The free outdoor exhibition, now in its 19th year, stretches for 2km along the coastline and includes more than 100 works by artists from 18 countries. It runs from 22 October to 8 November. Jörg Plickat from Germany was awarded the $60,000 (£39,000) Macquarie Group Sculpture Prize for his work Divided Planet. IBTimesUK presents a picture gallery of some of the sculptures.
