  6. Yayoi Kusama Covered the World in Dots (12 Photos)

    The dots escaped the canvas. Yayoi Kusama died at a hospital in Tokyo on August 14 at the age of 97, her studio announced on August 27. She continued to paint until her final days. Her dots had long since spread into public space: a pumpkin at the edge of the sea, a giant likeness leaning over a Paris façade, hundreds of eyes along a courthouse and silver spheres curling above a London station entrance. Here are 12 of her public works and installations. 🔗 Visit Yayoi Kusama’s […]

  7. 15 Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed

    A fork in a lake. A shark in a roof. A portrait hidden inside fifty steel columns. These sixteen sculptures use cliffs, shadows, water, buildings, light, and even the viewer’s position as part of the work. Some are permanent landmarks; others travel or were created as temporary installations. 🎶 “Mélodie oubliée” — By Luo Li Rong In this workshop photo, Luo Li Rong uses a torch on the bronze surface of Mélodie oubliée. The finished work is 205 cm tall and weighs 250 kg, […]

  8. Headed into downtown New Bedford to check out the newly-unveiled statue of Herman Melville by sculptor Steff Rocknak today, since I wasn't able to sneak out of work for the unveiling itself.

  9. Under the Insurgents’ Memorial

    Shot from below, the memorial’s three bronze wings blot out most of the sky. A man in a grey hoodie sat on the granite wall at the base, hunched over something in his lap, tiny against the thing behind him. He’d picked the one spot where the monument s...

  10. Under the Insurgents’ Memorial

    Shot from below, the memorial's three bronze wings blot out most of the sky. A man in a grey hoodie sat on the granite wall at the base, hunched over something in his lap, tiny against the thing behind him. He'd picked the one spot where the monument stops being a monument and turns into somewhere to sit. Take him out of the frame and you'd have no clue how big it actually is. The Silesian Insurgents Memorial's three wings stand for the three Silesian Uprisings of 1919, 1920, and 1921, when […]

  11. Another edit of the Schwarzenegger statue that I previously submitted for #FotoVorschlag (“Prachtkerl” / fine specimen, hunk).

    I just remembered that Arnold was nicknamed “the Austrian Oak,” so I thought this would be fitting for #ThickTrunkTuesday as well. In his bodybuilding days he did, indeed, have a thick trunk.😁

  12. Guten Morgen und einen erholsamen Sonntag! 😀 👋

    Passend zum #SilentSunday heute zwei ungewöhnliche Stühle aus der katholischen Kirche St. Bonifatius in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel. Die beiden Kunstwerke stehen etwas unbeachtet an der Kirchenwand, über ihre Herkunft war leider nichts herauszufinden.

    Bill Helin is of #Tsimshian / #Norwegian decent and is a member of the Tsimshian Nation, born and raised in the Northwest Coastal community of Prince Rupert, BC. His father was Arthur Helin, his Grandfather Henry William Helin, was Chief of the Gitlan Tribe, and his Grandmother Maud Helin, was Chief of the Gitgeese Tribe. Bill spent many hours listening to his grandmother in wonder, as she told him many Legends of the Tsimshian People. By the time he was three, he was already drawing and it wasn't long before he was amusing his family, friends and teachers with caricatures and cartoons. For the most part Bill is a self-taught artist. He learned from books, and was soon mastering techniques such as three-dimensional forming, called repousse. In the 1980’s Bill was sponsored to go to K'San, BC's famous #IndianArt and Carving School in Hazelton. In February 1988, Bill attended the renowned Gemology Institute of America in Santa Monica, California, completing advanced courses in gold smithing and gem setting. Today he lives and works from his studio/home on Vancouver Island.

    Bill spent most of his career, which started in 1979, carving traditional Tsimshian wood carving, jewelry and paintings. His art has evolved from creating large wood projects such as a 40 foot long Ravensong Canoe in 1993 and working on the world’s tallest totem pole with Richard Krentz in 1994, to illustrating children’s story books and working on many animation projects. Other projects include working with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency to design three mission patches as well as some education materials.

  15. Sitting on a Sea Turtle in Piccadilly

    We’re near Piccadilly Circus, there’s a big painted sea turtle sculpture on a blue plinth, part of a public art trail supported by Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett, no less, and absolutely nobody sitting on it is paying the slightest bit of attention to it. They’re all on their phones.

    The star of the show for me is the person in the middle, who has gone full Union Jack: hat, bag, the works, paired with red tracksuit bottoms and a set of brightly coloured trainers that honestly deserve their own photo.

    Love London for street photography!

  22. through the glass at 211 S Clark, the city turns into a grid: tight windows, lobby mullions, and the bright arch of Calder’s Flamingo folding into reflections. Small figures and cars cross Federal Plaza while ceiling lights float as dots in the glass.

    This sculpture, Eric Gill's "Prospero and Ariel", was one of my favourite pieces of public art in London.

    Now it is horribly marred by the protective screen placed over following its vandalization by some odious crank.
