Peter Webster is an English artist and sculptor, best known for his sculpture of the British athlete Steve Ovett, which was exhibited in Preston Park, Brighton, before its theft.[1] Webster created a replacement which was installed on Brighton seafront in 2012 as part of the celebrations for the London Olympics.[2]

Webster also created the statue of Max Miller, the English comedian, currently on display in the grounds of the Royal Pavilion, Brighton. This statue was unveiled on 1 May 2005 by the Mayor of Brighton, Pat Drake.[3]
