A statue of Virginia Woolf (1882–1941), one of the most influential 20th-century modernist authors,[1] sits overlooking the Thames at Richmond Riverside in London, England. It was sculpted by Laury Dizengremel and erected in November 2022.[2]

Location

The statue stands in Richmond, where she and her husband Leonard established the publishing house Hogarth Press, named after Hogarth House where they lived. Cheryl Robson, a fundraiser for the statue, mentioned that Woolf's diaries suggested she would frequently enjoy the views from the banks of the Thames around Richmond.[3][4]

In November 2021, the statue's position created some controversy in relation to the nature of Woolf's death, as she had committed suicide by drowning in a river.[5][6]
