‘The Black-Country Steelworkers’ (1992) by Andrew Tift, The New Art Gallery, Walsall

Who are these men, on their break? Are they friendly towards us, or are they hinting at us to get out of their space?

Small details about their interests, religions, football team and tea preferences are included in the picture, along with their kit from the steelworks.

The image is available on the Art UK website here along with thousands of other publicly owned paintings and sculptures.
