Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Photo

Photographer’s Note

Going through my old photobooks i found a series of
shots i took at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
(Walker Art Center) during my visit in 1994.

********************
Claes Oldenburg & Coosje van Bruggen

Spoonbridge and Cherry, 1988

It is made out of stainless steel and
aluminum painted with polyurethane enamel.
It was commissioned February 1985 by the Walker Art
Center as a gift of Frederick R. Weisman in honor of
his parents, William and Mary Weisman
The installation was on May 9, 1988 and the
inauguration on May 11, 1988.

*************
Scanned with a CanoScan FB630U,
so the quality is not as good as usual.

Hi Thorsten,

Very nice one. The sculpture is a nice foreground for the sky crapers on the back. The green also makes a balance to the urban elements. Good composition.

Cheers,

Flavia

Hi Thor, you saw my photos of your home town, Cologne, and when I came to look at your photos, I found my home town! What a coincidence! Yes, the Spoon still stands in the Walker Art Center Sculpture Garden, and this is a very well composed photo of it with the bench under its arch and downtown buildings in the background. I like it a lot.
Regards,
Lois
