Street Art

I have a few things awaiting photo shoots and even more that are just thisclose to being finished but I found something pretty cool to share today anyway. This is an art installation in front of the National Museum of Women in the Arts which is about a 5 minute walk from my office. I went over yesterday to get a better look and some pictures for you.

This is the view as I approached it. I don't know if you can tell but the sculptures byNiki de Saint Phalle are placed in a raised and grassy median right in front of the museum which is to the right. The first figure that greeted me is called Nana on a Dolphin.

Then there are Les Trois Graces.

Here's a close up of one of the graces. I took the picture to give you a better view of the details in the shapes but now I notice that it really highlights the figures ample rear. Suddenly I don't feel quite so bad.

I just love this colorful Arbre Serpents. Right behind it is a building I like a lot. It's an old Greyhound bus station that is now the lobby of an office building. Very cool and art deco.

I'm kind of curious about these last 2 figures which are called #23 Basketball Player. The one in the red shorts has a #23 on the front of his shirt but I find myself wondering why he's being held up by silvery one. Can't he jump?

I really enjoyed taking these pictures and the walk itself was lovely too. Maybe I can try to do this a few more times before the weather gets too cold.
